hello there,

I have many bookmarks set up in a table, which are used to update other parts
of the document when the document is saved. The document is protected so that
only the parts of the table with bookmarks at can be edited this all works
great untill you start to tab through the bookmarks deleting them one at a
time when you think you are updating them any ideas on a way to fix this
issue?

I was thinking of disabling the tab key, is this possible?

Use FormFields as a means of having somewhere to enter the information.
Each formfield will have a bookmark name assigned to it so that it contents
can be referenced from another location in the document.

Hope this helps.

This is an idea i have tried but then for some reason this does not allow for
some of my conditions to be met, i search through various bookmarks to check
if they have any contents, if i have fields they automatically have some
content which ruins the rest of my code.

Any further ideas on disabling the TAB key from within a word macro?

Use the .Result attribute of the FormFields to evaluate the contents.
