I see 3 ASK fields, and two of them are practically identical and store the entry in the same bookmark (Beneficiary).
The other asks "Who" and stores that entry in a bookmark named Family.

I suspect you are typing "son" to the first prompt. Your answer is stored in the bookmark Beneficiary. Then when you answer the second prompt, that answer is also told to be stored in Beneficiary, overwriting the first entry.



You have lots of working REF Beneficiary fields. They do what they are supposed to do... display whatever is stored at the bookmark named Beneficiary. And, of course what is stored there is whatever you answered to the second prompt.

You can ALT+F9 and edit the first ASK field, changing it's bookmark (like maybe to Relationship), then edit some of the REF fields, replacing Beneficiary with Relationship.

I'm so confused. I know that I have to rename some fields, but I can't get the asking prompt to come up. How can I get it to do that when the document opens? (Am I supposed to store the answer to the question somewhere?)

Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for your help.
