Hello, someone knows if it is possible to increase to the 25 elements in the
directory to reduction of a field module? Various as I can make to create a
field with the predefined values of the days of the month from 1 to 31?
Thanks,
Robi

Hi Robi,

No, the dropdown form field (Word's name for what you asked about) can't
hold more than 25 items. There are three objects you can use instead:

- a combo box from the Control Toolbox
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/dnword2k2/
html/odc_activeX.asp)

- a combo box or a list box on a userform
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 and

- an AutoTextList field
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm) but only if the
form does not need to be protected in order to activate other form fields

Thinking in another direction, you could use a text form field into which
the user has to type the number, and a macro that ensures the entry is a
number that is in the valid range
