I have searched the internet for a while on this one and I still can't seem to find an answer.
First little background. I currently use excel for a lot of other project related tasks. I have written code into excel that executes when a save command is done, and it sends an email to all needed people so they are aware of the changes.
What I would like to do is to integrate that same functionality in CAD. I am using 2008 LT, but others will be using other variations including electrical. I created a data link to look at the excel sheet, and created a table that looks at my data link. If I manually do a DATALINKUPDATE and write to the source I get what I am looking for. The trick that I can't figure out is how to make that happen every time the drawing is saved. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am stumped on this one.
