Macrobutton shifts view when document is protected for forms

When a user clicks anywhere in a document protected for forms (other than in an active formfield) the focus moves to a page with formfields that are active.

Assuming you are using legacy form fields, you can designate a macro to run on exit from a formfield.

You can put the following in an AutoOpen and AutoNew macro in your form template:

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
' Set macro button response to one click rather than double-click
' Macro written by Charles Kenyon based on help from Bill Coan on newsgroup
'
   Options.ButtonFieldClicks = 1
'
End Sub

This makes a single click activate the macrobutton.
