Form Created in Word 2007

[LynnMac2016]

Hi

I've received some excellent advice on this Forum and want to try my luck again.

I have created a form in word with various text fields and drop down menus. This form is for Managers to complete and return to me but I need to ensure that they give me all information I require. The current process isn't working due to Managers omitting information out so there's a lot of time wasted with me to-ing and fro-ing trying to get the information required.

The new form should address this in part but I want to ensure that ever text field and drop down menu has been completed by Manager, is there a way to have each of these fields/menus mandatory?

I'm thinking a macro onExit type thing but can't get it to work!

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Are you using content controls, or legacy formfields or ActiveX controls?

Hi, Paul

I'm using content control for drop downs and legacy form fields.

I've attached the document below. You will recognise the VB code for a couple of the drop down menus as you kindly helped me previously.

Generally it is not a good idea to mix legacy controls and content controls in the same document. (It can be done, but complicates things.)

See, for example: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...5-c62bd527eb50
As Charles says, though, you really shouldn't mix formfields and content controls in the same document - they weren't designed to work together and can behave inconsistently when used in the same document.

Thanks for the responses...I might look at using one or other if issues with using both...

Thanks again.

Lynn :-)
