Can Word update linked filename of Shape object Dynamically

Nov 17, 2005 4:00PM PST

Hi,
I'v inserted a Shape object into a word document, and I hope that the Shape object can be dynamically linked by Environ("UserName"), for example, UserA link to A.Gif, UserB link to B.Gif
I've tried to insert Shape object as follows: Insert / Shape / From Files / ... / Linked to File, Suppose I'm UserA to create the word document Test.Doc linked to Environ("UserName").Gif // ie. A.Gif. But if I copy the Test.Doc to UserB, it still links to A.Gif -_-||| ,
How can I solve the problem ?
Thanks A Lot,
Best Regards,
