I want to automate a process where I open a document from a network folder, work on it , then save it in another folder automatically, with a date stamp.

What would a typical script will be like?

The forms are in exel and Microsoft Word

Thanks for your help

If you save the original document as a "template", you can open it, make changes, and the only option you'll have will be "save as..", forcing you to put the document elsewhere.

MSWord, at least, supports the concept of "workgroup templates" (tools/options/file locations). Create a folder on the network drive, and point the "workgroup templates" setting to that folder. Any word templates saved there will show up as a document type when you choose "file/new" in Word.
