Hi Donna,



While that certainly works the way you originally described, the approach I suggested obviates the need for a separate button. With my approach, the formfield becomes its own 'button'.

Also be aware that ActiveX controls (the kind of control you used for the button) aren't supported on Macs, so your approach won't work if anyone with a Mac needs to use the form.

Thanks Chris,

Your suggestion does make a cleaner nicer looking form, but I was having trouble getting it to work with just the form field. All our users are on Windows, so we should not run into the issue for Mac users.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

Donna
