Synchronising documents on a hard drive

[AshB]

Hi,

Background to problem: My department uses a program that acts as an
interface into an extensive amount of Project files. This program requires a
copy of original document (from Project file) be placed in its Records files.

Is it possible to synchronise the Project file word document and Records
file word document so that when the Project file is updated so is the Records
file?

Both versions are saved on the same drive.

Does this make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This looks like a very useful macro - thanks. But if the file has
already been saved to the 2 locations, won't the SaveAs commands each
result in a prompt asking if you want to overwrite the files? It would
be nice to avoid this.

The macro doesn't prompt - it simply overwrites any existing file of the
same name.
