Word 2003 form validation - is it backward compatible?
I have a form created in Word 2003. Others with Word 2003 can opne the form
and validate it and send it back. People not using 2003 can open and fill out the form but when they click validate nothing happens. No pop up box shwoing fields not filled out and no yellow highlighting to show fields that need to be completed. Should I make the form in a different version of word or is there something I can do to make it useable for older version of word users? |

Word 2003 form validation - is it backward compatible?
Hi ?B?YWNleWNoYXNpbmc=?=,
I have a form created in Word 2003. Others with Word 2003 can opne the form and validate it and send it back. People not using 2003 can open and fill out the form but when they click validate nothing happens. No pop up box shwoing fields not filled out and no yellow highlighting to show fields that need to be completed. Should I make the form in a different version of word or is there something I can do to make it useable for older version of word users? Since you don't explain how the form was built, how the validation works, nor show us the code you're using, it's impossible to even guess. In addition, you're asking this in an end-user newsgroup, which means you're limiting the number of people who might be able to help you. Repost your question in one of the word.vba newsgroups with more details about how the form is constructed and how the validation is built. If NO macro functionality is occurring, I'd check the Macro Security settings on the installations where it's not working...
