Default Compulsary Fields in Word Forms

Is it possible to make entry into Form fields in Word Compulsary (in that you
are not allowed to leave them blank) and is it possible to put a drop-in
Calendar to select a date and then the calendar disappears again also in a
form?

You can use a macro similar to the one in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...ateFFields.htm (and see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed). You would need to
change the field name in double quotes to the real name of the field in your
form, and you would replace the line

If Len(.Result) 0 And Left$(.Result, 3) "KLM" Then

with the line

If Len(.Result) = 0 Then

to catch an empty field.

For a popup calendar, see http://www.gmayor.com/popup_calendar.htm.
