I've tried placing an IncludeText field on a Word doc tied to a .txt file and that works OK, except it doesn't update automatically when the contents of the text file changes. The Link option seems to allow every type of file except .txt. Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean,butmaybe this helps:

The users should use documents in RTF-format. There they can use field names with delimiters, like: @@address@@.
Now you can use the following code:

lcStr = FILETOSTR("MyRTFfile.rtf")
lcStr = STRTRAN(m.lcStr,"@@address@@"", myFoxTable.AddressField)
....
....
STRTOFILE(m.lcStr,"MyRTFfile.rtf")

Maybe you mean something completely different, maybe not.

HTH,
