HELP: Needing to tackle form fields...
I wish to use form fields in several documents.. I am aware how they work,
but I do not know: How can i put the date the document is being created on into the form field. I know how to use a standard field for this, but I would like the form field to default to the createdate and allow the user the chance of override if the date needs altering on a future occasion because of an event that they part-filled the form out, saved it, then completed it later. Help is appreciated. Regards, Clint |

Hi Clinton,
How can i put the date the document is being created on into the form field. I know how to use a standard field for this, but I would like the form field to default to the createdate and allow the user the chance of override if the date needs altering on a future occasion because of an event that they part-filled the form out, saved it, then completed it later. This would require a macro, say one named AutoOpen so that it would execute when the document is opened; or AutoNew if a document is being created from a template (probably better, as you might later want to open an existing form). Example: Sub AutoNew() ActiveDocument.FormFields( _ "NameOfField").Result = Format(Date, "dd-MMM-yyyy") Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
