I actually did exactly the same as the last response, however, if you're loading an excel file it will just take a while to process the information.

Now, I did this to create a file naming application that reads the excel file containing the naming characteristics. Then every time I open a new inventor file, it grabs the number from excel, populates this name into the browser node and then when i click save, it just takes the browser name and appears as the name file. (Cool it really, works) now i have a naming application for every file, assembly, parts, sheet metal, drawings (for drawings uses a different number) 

 

However, it's absolutely slow, especially with content centre files or frame generated parts, or well i have good computer so it doesn't bother me, but I really would like to find a different file instead of an excel file to process this.  Can anyone give me a recommendation for this? How could i speed up this opening and reading the excel file every time i create a new file.

Cheers.
