There are ways around this using ASK, IF & REF fields but, without knowing more about your requirements, it's impossible to say whether the technique would work for your situation.

Personally, I wouldn't do that, since it can have other adverse effects.

A simpler way might be to use a Document_New or Document_Open macro with a couple of InputBoxes to populate built-in or custom document properties that can be referenced via a DOCPROPERTY field.
