I have looked at webdav, ftp, etc. None can solve my client's problem without a major overhaul of the system. The problem is: My client has a document management system (implemented in php) on a server. It does uploads without problem. However, each time, a file get modified, it has to be saved on local disk first and uploaded to the server by a few more clicks. It would be nice if the application (e.g.,ms words) can save the modified file directly to the server. I am wondering if office suite applications can be tweaked (using macros, vb?), so that a 'save' event will trigger an action of automatic upload. Or there is a better approach. Tim
