revision tables
has anyone really used vba to maipulate a revision table?
once the revision table is inserted, you can use addrevsion to add a revision but you can only supply an id.
when i do this, my revisions go a, b, c etc...can this be set anywhere to make them numeric?
also how do you add text? through the table annotations you can use revisiontable.text and supply the row and column but what happens if the tables have different rows and columns? is there a way to supply text for a specific revision number?
there doesn't seem to be much activity here with regard to this, so i'm hoping there is someone out there who has used this before?
thanks

thanks deepak,
any ideas about adding text to the columns using addrevision...or is it just the way it works?
revblockcontrol 1.13
matts macro uses the .text method to add text but i was wondering how you make it dynamic enough so that if the columns change, the macro does not dump the wrong information into the wrong columns...
i have modified the macro to my need and if you need i can do that for you also. send in a drawing sheet with a revision table in it.

thanks for the offer, it is appreciated.
i have everything sorted for this application. i was asking more out of curiousity than anything as it didn't seem a very flexible system having to keep changing rows and columns in code just to suit the code.
i could envisage other users having to modify this to be able to use it when it might have been easy if a function already existed to do this for you.
thanks for your help.
