Greetings;
I belong to a small company on Venezuela named BC&A Ingenieros Consultores C.A. and we have a big problem, the thing is that we had the Template files stored in a server that from now on i will refer as "Old Server". That server was decomisioned
and we changed everything to a new server with a new name and from now on i will refer to it as "New Server", however the proyects that were before this modification kept using the old files with the old route (Copy & Paste because its easy for
the engeneers) that generated a good number of files (over a ten thousand files) of Word (.doc), the thing is those files keep searching the format on the Old Server Route and i need to change them to the New Server Route, thing is now the opening time is
over 2 minutes, i can't do ten thousand (give or take) one by one when each file takes 2 min or plus to open.
Im thinking of writing a small program to do the fix wich is as it fallows:
1.- Open the "lost" file
2.- Wait 2 minutes or plus
3.- Go to options
4.- Complements
5.- Administrate Templates
6.- Templates and Click on "Go" on the deployable menú
7.- On Templates and Complements on the first Tab y just have to change the route to the folder containing the Template Files (Wich haven't been renamed) Example: \\ Old Server\Company Name\Templates & Formats\Reunión
Note.doc And Replace it with the new route \\New Server\Company Name\Document Control\Templates & Formats\Reunión Note.doc
8.- Close and Save so everyone on the server can benefit.
However i need to make this automatic and preferably withouth opening the file, so i know the basic algorythm to make this and i am thinking of writing the progran Either in C, C++, Turbo Pascal or maybe if i can find how in the Default Simple Text
Editor of Windows, but i need help on how to make this fix withouth opening the file and how to call in the instruction in wich the Template Route is stored in a document.
Thanks in Advance!
