Result in form field to generate comment in next field
Hi All
I searched for this but have not found anything specific enough. I'm designing a form to be used as a Hospital Clinic letter. In one form field i (or my secretary!) will be entering a number (biochemical result). I would like this result to generate a comment in the next field. Basically the number will range from 5 to 14. Any number less than 7.5 needs to generate a comment of 'good control'. Values between 7.6 and 9 need to generate a comment of 'control needs improvement' and values 9.1 or above needs to generate a comment of 'dangerously poor control'. Any help very gratefully received. Thanks Phil |

Result in form field to generate comment in next field
Each formfield is given a bookmark name. You can find or change it in the
field's properties. You'll also want the property for "calculate on exit" checked. Then use IF fields to test the value of this property and display the commentary you desire. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." 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. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.
