I would like to progromatically add the following item to a AutoTextEntry, but I am finding it difficult. The following is what I need to insert.

{MACRO BUTTON UnCheckit þ}

Since I have this Wingding symbol in there is it impossible?

I can add the checkbox symbol by itself, but adding the other text at the same time is proving to be difficult. Any ideas?

TIA,

Paul

'Macrobutton' doesn't have a space. Insert the field exactly as you have it,
select it and save as an autotext entry. When you insert the entry you
appear to get only the check box, but this is because the field display is
toggled.

Graham,

I appreciate your reply, but I am trying to insert the AutoTextEntry into
the AutoText list using code not manually saving it into the AutoText list.

If you have any suggestions I would be greatful.

Thanks,

Paul
