I am creating a form that has the "client name" in several
places.  I would like to have the first occurence of the
name populate the other occurences.

I've added my text fields in all the places that need to
be filled in.  I know nothing about VB.

Please help!

THanks, Mary Goulian

Can we assume that the Client name is being typed in or selected in one form
field and then being displayed in a non-updatable form elsewhere?

If so,
right-click your form field and select properties (or otherwise display the
appropriate properties box), check "Calculate on exit", and note the
bookmark name under settings. Ideally, change the bookmark name to something
appropriate such as bkmClientName. Then use REF fields such as { REF
bkmClientName } to display the name elsewhere in the document. Notice that
the new name will not be displayed until the user tabs out of the form
field.

If not,
please try to tell us a bit more about exactly what you want to happen.
