I had a look at this and had similar results. However, I cannot think of a
simple workaround. I'm not one of the authors of Word so can only guess what is going on, but a. if you try opening the same URL (or perhaps a simpler URL) in Word File Open, Excel File Open, FrontPage File Open, and in all probability the File Open in any other Office program, the "Is it a FrontPage site" checks are also performed. My assumption is that Word (and the other Office programs) are trying to determine whether or not the file can be edited, so they check for things such as: a. is it a FrontPage web, and if so, does this user have author permissions? b. if not, is it a WebDav site? etc. However, I cannot even guess why Word insists on getting the file twice at the end - perhaps it is trying to ensure that the file exists first, then request a specific format second (even though it already has the format it needs). I suspect you are right that Microsoft would not implement a change quickly, even if they wanted to - I suspect that they would say that their implementation is "by design" and that you would have to ask for a new switch in INCLUDETEXT (perhaps "/Quick" :-) ) , but it /might/ be worth checking to see if, for example, there are any undocumented parameters that would help. I doubt if there are though. The only possible workaround I can think of would require you to use a different program or Word converter to get the file. By "program", I mean that you find and use an OLE Server that can return the results you need, and use a LINK or EMBED field instead of INCLUDETEXT. But I suspect there are many difficulties using that route and I doubt if the updates ould be any quicker. Using another converter means either: a. finding an existing converter (either Microsoft or third party) that could do the job. I can't think of one, but I haven't thought very long b. writing your own. I would be surprised if that would be worth it, but the main points a - the converter SDK may not be available any more. - because converters can theoretically do anything Microsoft has clearly realised that they are a security risk and I suspect they now discourage people from writing them. - the SDK is C or C++ based and converters are required to be Win32 DLLs (not ActiveX DLLs) , i.e. you either need access to C/C++ skills or you need to translate the SDK interfaces etc. into another language whose build facilities can create the right kind of DLL. Because a converter has to deliver its results to Word in rtf format (actually, there may be an option that allows you to deliver HTML, but as far as I can remember it is not sufficiently well documented to use), you would be faced with a difficult conversion task unless your requirements are very simple - you have to test and distribute it. Not very positive but maybe there's a useful idea in there for you. Peter Jamieson "Oliver" wrote in message om... Hi, hope anyone can help me. I have multiple INCLUDETEXT statement in a document.
