Master/Sub, Forms or Fields... Oh My!
First let me say what a wonderful group here!
Perhaps I just don't understand the terminology or I really haven't seen what I'm looking for yet. I have a document created in Word 8 with sections containing "fields" to be filled in by 3 different people (actually "groups" of people). In the past the document was printed out and completed by hand. What I am attempting is having the document (template) available on the server (W2K). Person from group #1 opens the file, completes the sections related to his/her dept then saves the file with the client's name in the client's folder. Person from group #2 goes to the client's folder, opens the document, completes the respective section and saves it in the same folder. Person from group #3 does the same as #2. This way any one of the 3 can start the process of filling out the "form". Here is the part I'm lost at. I want to be able to "lock" each person's (group's) section so it can not be edited by anyone other than that person. My original thought was to save the sections as 3 separate files with write access only to the "group" that should be filling those sections. But then someone would have to merge the 3 files back into one document to maintain the "form's" format and layout. I'm not sure if there is a Word function to do this or if VBA is needed. Any and all input is appreciated Every person accessing this document will be using Word 10 or above if that helps with responses. TIA Duff |
