MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2005FORMS
I HAVE MADE A FORM WHICH WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO OTHER PEOPLE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD A COMMAND TO A FORM THAT WILL SAVE THE FORM BASED UPON THE INFORMATION ENTERED INTO THE FORM. If we are talking about formfields as used in a protected document, you can use the .Result property of a formfield to retrieve information that is entered into the formfield and a macro run on exit from a field could use the ActiveDocument.SaveAs command to save the document with information retrieved in that way.

I have created a form which a user completes. One of the fields is an individuals name. At the end of the form I want a command button that when pressed will save the file to a particular path name and name it based on the information entered in the individuals name. I am sure this can be done with VBA, but my knowledge of this is small Thanks > If we are talking about formfields as used in a protected document, you can > use the .Result property of a formfield to retrieve information that is [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > INFORMATION > > ENTERED INTO THE FORM. Just what type of form is it? A userform (custom dialog) or a protected document that uses formfields? SignatureHope this helps.

I have written an ActiveDocument.SaveAs command but do not know how to look up the form field. How does the .result property work? > Just what type of form is it?

Open the Properties dialog of the formfield that gets filled with the individual's name. The "Bookmark" box in that dialog contains the name of the field, by default "Text1" or some other number. You can change this to a more descriptive name, or use it as is. In your code, the content of the "Text1" field is accessed by MyString = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org >Protected document that uses formfields.
