Conditional Cross Ref.
I am working on a form that uses form fields. That I want to use
conditional cross reference s and I'm not sure how to do it? I Example I have three fields Ename text form field Echeck form check box Name text text form field If Echeck is checked I want Name to contain the value of Ename, if it is not checked then I want it to be a reqular form field where I can type informatiion in. Any ideas Thanks Fr. Robert |

Any ideas Thanks Fr. Robert Using the instructions at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm, add this macro to the form's template. Then open the Properties dialog of the checkbox and select the macro in the Exit dropdown. Sub ExitECheck() With ActiveDocument.FormFields If .Item("ECheck").CheckBox.Value Then .Item("Name").Result = .Item("EName").Result .Item("Name").Enabled = False Else With .Item("Name") .Result = "" .Enabled = True End With End If End With End Sub If you use different names for the form fields, the same changes are needed in the macro. If you edit the entry in EName while ECheck is checked, the value in Name won't be updated until you enter and then exit ECheck (which fires the macro). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

I thought something along the line of:
{ IF Check1 = True "{ FORMTEXT }" "{ REF Ename }" } would work, but I can't figure out the value to check for so you may need to use Jay's macro. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
