Form field cross reference not working in protected form
Hi Christine,
If your:
.. formfield's properties are set to 'calculate on exit'.
.. you use a REF field with the formfield's bookmark name; and
.. the document is protected for forms (not for tracked changes or comments),
the REF field should update immediately the formfield is updated by tabbing
out of it or selecting another field or an unprotected Section of the
document.
Cheers

In a protected form, how to you cross-reference a form field? In the form
field results to be referenced elsewhere, I have selected "Calculated on
Exit. Then, where I want the form field result to appear elsewhere in the
document I have used Insert, Field, Ref bookmark name. However, it does
not
work unless the form is sent to print or unprotected, fields updated and
then
protected again.
I've seen similar questions about this, but please note the form field
cross
reference is not in a header or footer.
Is there a way to make cross-ref fields work, or will I be forced to
develop
styles for each required cross reference?
Thanks.
