Default Modify feilds

Is there someway of using VBA say NoExt = FileName, then say insert
that into a feild?


You can do almost anything in VBA, like define your own macro which
inserts the filename to your liking at the insertion point. But I don't
know of anything you can do to actually change the output of a FILENAME
field in the way you want it.

[BTW, even if you _had_ the possibility to use simple string
manipulation on the field itself, not every document name consists of
8+3 ...]
