Global macro to display message on file save?

[clhare]

It is possible to create a global macro (in the Startup folder) that will display a message whenever a file is saved (or closed)?

I want to display a message box reminder to complete an associated task so I don't forget to do it since it's a new procedure!

Thanks!

Are you sure? If it was global, then you would get that for ANY, and EVERY, file.

Yeah, I know, but I've already noticed a couple instances where someone has forgotten to do this new manual step which would need to be done if a file has been saved (either edited or newly created), so I want to use the message box for awhile until we all get used to doing it.

It can be done with Application Events (DocumentBeforeSave) but this also fires on AutoRecover Saves if you have them set to happen; I can't remember off the top of my head whether you can distinguish them with certainty - I've got a funny feeling you can't.

Oh, that would be annoying... What about when a document is closed instead?

[TonyJollans]

Yes, that would probably work better if it satisfies your need.

So you want a message regardless of whether the step is done, or not?
