Re: Word template - Workflow System - Event Handler problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Fernando,
I would like to see an alternative method to VBA. The user could choose the
"Disable Macros" option and this too would fail. Are there any other
sugguestions / solutions for this? Also, how do you "tell" office apps that
they should save the currently opened file to a different library with out
prompting for location?

Thanks for the suggestion Fernando,

Jared
