Hi Al,

The automatic update of links radio button is greyed out even though it is
not locked by my observation.
I'm trying to update from a *txt file.

WHERE do you see this button, and in which version of Word?

In a general sort of way, text files linked using an IncludeText field
(Insert/File with link) should update automatically, all the time. There have
been some new security measures since Word 2002 SP-1, however, that can
result in deactivating link updates. See this article
