I launch Word from my PB application. When the Word document is
saved (Save As menu), how can I get its full path and file name ?

Thank you very much !

Write a Word Macro which triggers an event (e.g. pbm_custom event/
windows user event). Catch this event in your PB Application and get the
filename from Word via OLE.

I dont see any other way for Word how to tell the PB Application that it
just saved a File. You can also try a timer event in your PB App and ask
Word (e.g. every 5 seconds) to give you the name of the actual Document
(ActiveDocument.Fullname).
