INCLUDETEXT with url

[Cristina]

Hello,
I´d like to know if it´s possible inserting a file from a macro or a
vbscript code in an word document providing an url instead of a file system path.
I´ve tried it with de Selection.Add.Fields INCLUDETEXT and with the
InsertFile functions of the API but I wasn´t succesful.

Hi Cristina,

I´d like to know if it´s possible inserting a file from a macro or a
vbscript code in an word document providing an url instead of a file system path.
I´ve tried it with de Selection.Add.Fields INCLUDETEXT and with the
InsertFile functions of the API but I wasn´t succesful.

Which version of Word? Please describe in what manner it wasn't successful: do you
get some kind of error message, for example?

I´m using Word 2000.
The way it isn´t successful is that I try to include a file in the
header of my document from a vbscript code and the file isn´t inserted
because I give a url as the path of my file in the INCLUDETEXT. This
is the code I use:

WordApp.Selection.Fields.Add WordApp.Selection.Range,-1 ,"INCLUDETEXT
" & chr(34) & "http://localhost/wwwroot/cabecera.html" & chr(34)
