Yes, this is possible. It isn't easy though. What you are talking about is
what Word calls an "online form." For more about online forms, follow the
links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

You'll need to have on-exit macros from your trigger field that
enable/disable other fields or make them appear/disappear as needed. This is
done by unprotecting the form, modifying the other fields, and reprotecting
the form without resetting contents.

Hope this helps,

Hi, This is a little difficult to explain but here goes.

I have an employee document which has all of the particular employees
details on it, depending on the employees role, whether they are full
time/part time different areas need to be filled out.

I have created a form when the template loads which has various tick boxes
drop down lists etc.. what i want to know is can i have a drop down list
at
the top and when this is changed, some options on the form are removed to
make entry easier for the person filling it in.

e.g. if i am part time i need to enter in my hourly rate, so at the
beginning i say i am part time and it asks me for my hourly rate. If i am
fulltime, it doesn't ask me.

I need to create a different form (about 4) for the various roles, and
select between them using some metod.

Any ideas
Thanks
