Auto complete on opening

I have created a form with fields for users to complete. I seem to remember
that on opening the document you can force certain fields to be completed.
You get a box showing "the question" and then complete the answer in a box.
When the document opens the fields are completed with the responses.



Please can anyone tell me how to do this?



Cheers
 
Shane,

If you only want the result displayed in one place then you can use FILLIN
field:

{ FILLIN "What is your name?"} which will automatically promt for update
when the document opens.

If you want the data supplied to more than one location in the document you
can use an ASK field and then REF fields to display results

{ ASK Name "What is your name?"} { REF Name} { REF Name } etc.

ASK Fields do not automatically prompt when a document opens so you would
have to press F9 or incluce AutoOpen macro code to fire the promts.

The best method is to use a UserForm. See:
