I assume by 'text fields', you actually mean text content controls. You shouldn't use formfields and content controls in the same document.

They have their place but, as shown in the links, aren't needed for what you're doing.

The DoDependent sub looks at what choices have been made in the ProcessType & EquipCategory dropdowns and based on that, populate the corresponding TestType and Component dropdowns with the applicable choices. The data for those choices are stored in the ProcessType & EquipCategory dropdown values as |-delimited strings.
