If you were using formfields as in a protected document, you could use a
modification of the following:

Sub addrow()

'

' Macro created 02/02/03 by Doug Robbins

' To add a new row to a table containing formfields in every column

' automatically on exit from the last cell in the present last row of the
table

Dim rownum As Integer, i As Integer

ActiveDocument.Unprotect

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Add

rownum = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count

For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Count

ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add
Range:=ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(rownum, i).Range,
Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput

Next i

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(ActiveDocument.Table s(1).Rows.Count,
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Count).Range.Form Fields(1).ExitMacro =
"addrow"

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(ActiveDocument.Table s(1).Rows.Count,
1).Range.FormFields(1).Select

ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True



End Sub

Is there a way to get this added to a new row automatically when the new
row is created (eg by pressing tab at the end of the last row)?

Hi Jim,

Simply bookmark the date (not the cell!) in column B, then use a ref
field
in Column C to extract the date. For example:
If the date in B1 is August 12, 2005, and you bookmark this as
'B1Date',
then you'd use a REF field in C1 coded as:
{REF B1Date \@ dddd}. This should return 'Friday', not 'Monday' as
indicated
in your post ...

Cheers
PS: The field braces (i.e. '{}') are created in pairs via Ctrl-F9.
Alternatively, you can create the REF field via Insert|Field.
