Prevent double quote in form field
I have a form with about 200 fields (word 2000). How to prevent a user from
entering double quotes in a text field, because save data only and importing the resulting textfile will fail if an extra double quote is in the text field. If this is not possible, can I change the export data only converter to have another text delimiter as double quote. |

Hi ?B?UGV0ZXIgVGh5cw==?=,
I have a form with about 200 fields (word 2000). How to prevent a user from entering double quotes in a text field, because save data only and importing the resulting textfile will fail if an extra double quote is in the text field. If this is not possible, can I change the export data only converter to have another text delimiter as double quote. The only possibility here would be a macro. Either one that fires when the user exits a field that checks the field for double quotes. Or one that fires when the user saves (checks all fields for double quotes). Or use a macro to extract the data, instead of relying on the "save data only" option.
