In general, AFAIK, yes this is impossible, because there is no general way to ask a program the name of the document(s) it is working on. Of course, if there are a small number of programs you use a lot, it may be worthwhile to find if there are specific ways that work with each of them. For example, with Excel, I think you could write a script using the COM plugin since, I think, Excel does let you get at its current spreadsheet files using its COM interface (but don't ask me how, I never use VBA/COM with Excel). And of course, you should be able to get the current URL from IE by looking in correct edit box and the current folder from Explorer by looking at caption text. You would have to handle each program differently. Many may have no way of getting the info. > Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
