I have a word doc setup to link to variables in EPDM. I have put in the AutoOpen Macro per the admin guide; but when the doc is opened it doesn't update the items; but I can click on them and manually update each field. Any ideas as to what would cause the macro to not update the fields on opening
thank you
The admin guide's example will not automatically run upon open. It is simply a macro that you have to manually run. If you want the code to run automatically, you need to put the code in the document's Open Event.
Ensure the you have selected "Document" and "Open", causing the actual routine's name to be "Document_Open"
