If you've ever head of 'implied solutions' and take into account the context - a public forum where every level of user is allowed to post - you would understand why asking why is a necessary step.

 

If there is so much complexity in one file put a trigger on a visible open to explain that it required certain steps to ensure the files are properly updated, or even attach them on save. This should suffice unless the file is used too frequently for this to be efficient (ie; multiple times a day), or is prone to causes unnecessary costs.

 

Again, like I said, maybe review the 'why' you need it and the 'how' you are currently doing it and you might come across a more elegant solution.
