The user should be able do edit the document while he is offline (not connected to the server). That way, I don´t know how the application would notice that the document was closed and load it in hidden mode. If there were a macro that re-open a document after it was closed, would solve this :) On 12/15/05, Mathias Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Fabricio Lemos wrote: > > > Here is the scenario for my application: > > 1.
