Stop Word date fields from auto updating
-
I'm writing an application that manipulates various office documents, but am having trouble with Fields containting dates that automatically update. All my efforts so far are too late in the process. As soon as I perform a wrd.Document.Open(filename), the fields have updated. Is there a way to open a word document and unlink, or lock, the fields before they update? Cheers, Anthony

This question is geared more towards a Word-centric forum than VB.NET. AFAIK, there's no way to stop the field from updating, but I could be wrong.
