How can I carry the results from one fill-in field to another.
Am trying to create a simple form. I want to carryover the account number and
name from the first page to the second page. I figured out how to do the account number as a calculation with a named field. But I can't figure out how to do the same thing with a text entry--the name field. Does anyone have a solution? |

Use a REF field to reproduce the bookmarked content of your field. Set the
field property to calculate on exit.

Also, look into the ASK field which creates a bookmark for you. You use a
REF field to insert the contents where you want. See the ASK and FILLIN field tutorial at http://addbalance.com/download.htm. For something a bit easier, you may also want to look into what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
