How do I make fields grey out automatically when irrelevant?
I am trying to make a request form on which I want to force the user to
complete all applicable fields. Can I format the request form so that dependant on the users answers only the applicale fields are show? Example: Question: Are you: full time or part time? Question: How many hours do you work? The second question is not applicable to full time employees as they have standard hours so I would like to make the check box unavailable for those who answer full time. Please help - I need this done by Tuesday!! |

How do I make fields grey out automatically when irrelevant?
As an example. Let's say that you have a checkbox field 'check1' which is
checked for full time work and that you have a text form field 'Text1' which collects the hours worked. If you run the following macro on exit from the Text1 field, if anything is entered in that field, when Check1 is checked the content is removed from Text 1 and a warning message popped up, before moving on to the next field. Sub AOnExit() If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then If Len(ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result) 0 Then '******* ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result = "" '******* MsgBox "Full time worker. This box is not applicable" End If End If End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm There are some useful pages on Greg Maxey's web site about forms, start with http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Form_Fields_Master.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Donna wrote: I am trying to make a request form on which I want to force the user to complete all applicable fields.
