Hi pnp

When the document is loaded the field in the footer is automatically
updated
- but the one in the body aint. Can this be true?

Yes.

If yes - is there any other way than writing VBA open method doing this
for
me, i can get the field in the body updated at load.

Probably not. For the last word on the subject, see

Hope this helps.
