edit reference file location automatically
i have a macro that does the following:
1.- open a template part (sldprt) and drawing (slddrw) files.
2.- update the template part file with new dimension
3.- save as the template part and template drawing files with new filename.
4.- close the template files.
5.- open the new files.
even though, the new drawing has new filename is still keeping the part template file. i have been changing manually. however, i want to know if is possible to include a statement in the vba to edit to the new file location. i have used this statement which is doing nothing (no errors shown):
dim replacecomponents as object
swdrawing = replacecomponents("c:\test\" & newdir & "\ " & wo & ".sldprt", "", true, true)
do you think is possible to automate this edit reference file location?
thanks in advance.
