I have a form. pretty basic. fields for dates, Names, etc. Instead of
clicking each field and inputting the necessary data, I would like to use
message boxes that would pop and have the user input the data there for each
field. Would I use a macro to set that up? Little help?

Thanks

You could use an ASK or Fill-In field
(http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#Tutorials) or a Macrobutton field
(http://addbalance.com/usersguide/fields.htm#MacroButton) in a document. You
could also use what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For
more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm.

Finally, you could use a UserForm to gather the information and put it into
your document. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

Hope this helps,
