You might need something like this:<br />

<pre><code id="code-321767">Sub ModFields()
Dim fld As Field
For Each fld In ActiveDocument.Fields
    If fld.Type = wdFieldLink Then
        fld.Code = Replace(fld.Code, &quot;\\\\hitfs03&quot;, &quot;\\\\NewServer&quot;)
    End If
Next fld
End Sub</code></pre>

Here is the problem:<br />
<br />
I have a Word Document that has an object (Excel chart) links to Chart in another Excel document. So there is this property of Links in Word document that contains Souce File, Item in File, Link Type. By changing the value of these property, different chart can be linked from Word document.<br />
<br />
VB macro required:<br />
1) Source File property contains the absolute path of the linked Excel file name, I will like to change the path using VB macro<br />
<br />
2) Changing the value of &quot;Item in File&quot; and Link type is also needed.<br />
<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
