Clear Form Fields
I am working in Word 2003.
I have a table made up of 3 rows, the first two rows have 4 columns, the last is one column. The table looks like this: Row 1: Date: FormField Client Name: FormField Row 2: Referred To: FormField Follow-Up Date:FormField Row 3: Comments: FormField This is a template and when the user tabs out of the Comments FormField I have an On Exit macro that copies the table including the FormFields. I cant come up with coding to clear the FormFields in the new rows. My coding for copying and pasting the table is as follows: CopyTable Macro ActiveDocument.Unprotect Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=3 Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=2, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Copy Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1 Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdTableOriginalFormatting) Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=4 ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End Sub Again this works as far as copying the table but I need the newly pasted FormFields to be blank instead of having duplicate info from above. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. -- Jamie |

Clear Form Fields
See the examples - Add a row to a table in a protected form and Repeat a
block of formatted text and form fields based upon the content of another form field at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jamie wrote: I am working in Word 2003.

Clear Form Fields
Thanks for your reply Graham. Ive looked at your coding for Add a Row to a
Table in a Protected Form and I am still at a loss as to how to clear the pasted formfields. The coding that I currently have, copies all the information including the formfields, now I just need to clear the formfields. My columns are not the same width and the last row is a merge of all 4 columns. Ive been pulling things out of your code to see if I can get the formfields to clear, but unfortunately I dont know enough to be successful.

Clear Form Fields
Having inserted the fields, you need to set their values to nul
eg ActiveDocument.FormFields("Bookmarkname").Result = ""# However when copying and pasting the pasted row will not have bookmark names, so you would need to define the copied range (here Table 1 row 2) and zero all the fields in that range - eg along the lines of Sub ResetFormFields() Dim oRng As Range Dim oFld As FormFields Dim i As Long Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(2).Range Set oFld = oRng.FormFields For i = 1 To oFld.Count oFld(i).Select If oFld(i).Type = wdFieldFormDropDown Then oFld(i).Result = oFld(i).DropDown.ListEntries(1).name Else oFld(i).Result = "" End If Next End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jamie wrote: Thanks for your reply Graham.

Clear Form Fields
Hi Graham, I've been trying to use your code, but cannot seem to get it to
work. I keep trying which has only resulted in me prolonging this new posting to you as well as admitting that I am at a loss. My only suggestion, if you are still willing to help, is to send my document to you. Of course, you'll need to walk me through that as well as I have never attached a file to a post. -- Jamie "Graham Mayor" wrote: Oops - I don't know where that # sneaked in from It should have read ActiveDocument.FormFields("Bookmarkname").Result = "" -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Graham Mayor wrote: Having inserted the fields, you need to set their values to nul eg ActiveDocument.FormFields("Bookmarkname").Result = ""# However when copying and pasting the pasted row will not have bookmark names, so you would need to define the copied range (here Table 1 row 2) and zero all the fields in that range - eg along the lines of Sub ResetFormFields() Dim oRng As Range Dim oFld As FormFields Dim i As Long Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(2).Range Set oFld = oRng.FormFields For i = 1 To oFld.Count oFld(i).Select If oFld(i).Type = wdFieldFormDropDown Then oFld(i).Result = oFld(i).DropDown.ListEntries(1).name Else oFld(i).Result = "" End If Next End Sub Jamie wrote: Thanks for your reply Graham.
