Hi,

I'm trying to implement "digital initials" for a multi-user doc, whereby
each field of a form is "signed", using the UserInitials.  I tried simply
adding text with the Initials after a form field (in a form-based Exit
macro), but with different layouts,  tabbing through fields, etc. it looks
that's not the way to go.

So I want to add another "initial" field next to each original field, that
is populated by Userinitials on exit.

e.g.
Model Number [ modelno form field ] -[modelnoSIG form field]-

Each "signature field" is (Origformfield) & (SIG)

I want to have ONE onExit macro that can simplay take the name of the
current field (there are many), append "SIG", and insert the value of the
user's initials.

But I can't see to find a way to retrieve the current macro's name...

Thanks,
SEAN

p.s. A bit of a long-winded explanation, but thoughts on other ways to be
able to identify which form field was edited by which user would be helpful
as well!

You may create a document variable holding user initials and in required
spots put charformatted ref fields linked to that variable.
