Updating field codes without clearing form fields
Is there a way to update all field codes in a document without clearing form fields that have been filled in? The current method I used to update all field codes in a document is to press Ctrl+a and then press F9. The problem is that doing this also causes any form fields in the document to reset to their default value.

Is this a protected form with legacy form fields? In which case, in order to use CTRL+A you would have to unlock the form and it would be that that would be the cause of the field clearing.
If you use a macro to update the fields in such a document the values in form fields should not be affected - e.g. see the example code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
