Hi Ernie,
No. Perhaps if you tell us what you're trying to achieve someone can suggest a suitable approach. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] " wrote in message ...

Sure thing. We create documents from a database and populate areas of our
documents via bookmarks. Well, what I hope to do is have a bookmark populate, and if there's no data for populating then instead create a form text field. This way, by protecting the document, the user can easily navigate to the unpopulated fields and fill them out manually.

Form field in conditional statement
Hi ernie,
If you're populating the bookmarks via vba, it's an easy enough thing to test whether there are any data to insert and, if not, insert a text formfield or a dropdown formfield (if you've got multiple choices to offer) instead. Alternatively, you could simply put formfields at all possible locations and simply update their results via your vba proacess. For those formfields for which there are data, you could then set the 'fill-in enabled' property to false to prevent subsequent editing. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] " wrote in message news Sure thing.
