Hi,
I am trying to come up with a system that will allow me to generate a form
dynamically and then output the selections made on that form to a custom
template.

I will have an unknown number of client names that I can read from a text
file and populate into a listbox (I have this working already).
I also plan to read a text file with a list of events that each customer can
be signed up for and generate checkboxes with the event names next to each.
I have info on how to do this but have not played with it yet.

My intention is to allow the user to select a client, display all possible
options for that client and let the user add checks next to each option they
will be signed up for.

The next phase would be to output that information into a custom formatted
template that will print the clients itinerary information.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me a general idea of how to
approach passing information into a custom template.
I have never worked with templates before but then again, I have never done
any VBA or macro coding in Word either but I have come a long way quickly.
If I just have a basic understanding of how to approach the task I can
figure it out on my own or by researching the particular methods online.  I
just need the idea of how to start.

Anybody?  Please?
Thanks..  Trent

Already answered in vba.userforms.

Please do not multipost.

If you want  you can crosspost (Many newsgroups in the To: field when you
create your message.)

The reason is simple:
People may end up "wasting" their time answering a post that has already
been answered elsewhere, thus it may be very likely that their particular
response to a post be totally ignored if the reply received elsewhere was
satisfactory to the original poster.
