Word Forms (2003) - creating a "click here to SAVE" button
It's possible, but it would serve little purpose. Word already has a Save
button on the Standartd Toolbar & the user is automatically prompted to save if they attemp to close the form or quit the program with unsaved changes pending. If that's not enough to encourage them to save their changes I doubt that one more button cluttering up your form will push them over the edge Taking the time to do a little *training* of the users would be in order. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac wrote in message oups.com...

Word Forms (2003) - creating a "click here to SAVE" button
If you add macros to the document they will be flagged as a warning and
probably disabled or disabled automatically according to macro security settings in the user's PC.. If you are supplying the form as a template you could add an autoclose macro to save the documents created from it automatically when the document is closed. Something along the lines of Sub AutoClose() Dim sFileName As String If Len(ActiveDocument.FullName) = 0 Then sFileName = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result & ".doc" Else sFileName = ActiveDocument.FullName End If MsgBox sFileName ActiveDocument.SaveAs sFileName End Sub will save an unsaved document with the name taken from the content of the formfield Text1 or save it with its already assigned name. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CyberTaz wrote: It's possible, but it would serve little purpose.
