Hi Andrew,

I had an idea but can not seem to find anyone to do the coding.  Is it 
possible to use a macro that would, when a file is saved, place a copy 
in two locations?  Example: place a copy in the current working 
directory and a copy with a different file name on an external drive? 
By different I would like to add a date/time stamp to the file name 
(filename<yymmddhhmm>.odf? The <> not being used.

Andy
