Field Codes: Record Other Documents Properties

[jamiedora]

Presently, I have written a program, which creates a "map" document
that lets users view other documents for editing (this is done by
inserting hyperlinks). The reason for using the "map" document is
avoid corruption seen in sub/master documents.

If possible, I would like use field codes to record the date/time the
user opens the document. The updated field codes would be displayed on
the "map" document. Again, the field codes would record the "Document
Modified Time/Date" for the document in the hyperlink, when opened.

Does anybody know how this would be implemented?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure this can't be done with fieldcodes. My best bet would be
to bring this to a VBA newsgroup (there are a couple for Word in the
microsoft.public.* hierarchy).
