This is Outlook 2003

It seems that the VBA route might be the best idea…

Nope… but definitely will !

Thanks for the pointer

Sure enough…

Actually I was looking for some way to automate this, having more than two groups (in fact 5) of items to permute…

And at the end of the day what I am REALLY looking for is the MIN and MAX value…

I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Can you explain what you mean by “updating those variables when document fields are updated”?

Well… as you are probably well aware document fields are automatically updated by Word on certain occasions. Typically the NUMPAGES field, which holds the total number of pages of the document, will be updated before printing.

I was wondering if there was any way to trap this and execute some custom VBA in order to update my document variable to whatever value would be relevant at that time.

Hope I made myself a little clearer

Hello

Thanks for the pointer.

Document variables are definitely what I was looking for… I still have a question, though: is there any way to have some code updating those variables when document fields are updated. In other words, those Word fire an event that I could trap and run my custom code to update my variables ?

Thanks again

Thanks – just one last question: do you know if this would work from Office 2000 to 2002 (or 2003) ?

Ok, I did some further testing and if I start from scratch it does work…. Howerver I had and still have a rule that does NOT work and quite frankly I have no idea why it behaves differently…

But having a solution is good enough for the time being !
