I work for the local council and have been asked to create a template (to be
used by many different inexperienced users) where the filename in the header
needs to be automatically updated when saving under a few filename (without
using f9 or macros) - the other users are at a very basic level and would not
be happy with having to press extra buttons or go into the header area.

I have tried putting in IF field codes, which do work, but you still have to
go into the header and press F9

PLEASE!!! Can someone help??Thanks.

Sonja,

If you want to know how to do it with the tools necessary to get it done
then see:

In my experience a workers happiness is not so much determined by what you
expect them to do, but rather how well you train them and pay them to meet
that expectation ;-)
