Locking a form page
I'm not sure the subject line clearly defines my problem, so here
goes.... I created a report template for my own use. The template uses several form fields in which I enter information. The problem: When I'm done filling in all the fields of the report, I need to put it into a format that I can e-mail to somebody without the fields being visible. I've been 99% successful, in that I am able to get rid of the grey shading and the grey boxes around the fields. But no matter what I've tried, when I bring up the report again, there is always at least one form showing its "scroll" box or its "enter text" box. So how do I lock this thing down and convert it to a plain old report? This is a time sensitive question, as I need to get my report in right away. Does anybody have a quick answer? Thank you all very much! TM |

Locking a form page
Use Ctrl+A to select everything in the document and then Ctrl+Shift+F9 to
unlink the fields. You will probably need to unprotect the form first. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
