Auto update
You could add the macro code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
to an autoopen macro in the document's template which will force an update on opening the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org welshygunner wrote: I have links to my word documents from excel spreadsheets.

Auto update
Hi Folks-
I am having a similar problem.. User has Windows Vista - latest updates Microsoft Office 2007 SBE - latest updates Connected to a remote Windows XP folder share.. User opens a Word 2007 (docx) document that links to 'a bunch of data' on a Excel 2007 (xlsx) document.. If the Word doc gets opened, it prompts to update - and the data is not updated. You have to manually update the fields. Which is wierd - because if we take those same documents and move them to the C drive of the Vista computer, the Word will automatically update properly. Why is it that when the files are opening from the XP computer - that it doesn't auto update..

When you open a document with OLE objects in it, you might very well be
prompted for an update even if no changes have been made to the source. That could be the reason why you aren't seeing any changes. By the way, have you tried the macro suggested by Graham? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "NIW" wrote in message ... Hi Folks- I am having a similar problem..
