Lock Form Field

[Yvonne]

Hi.

I've created a form using form fields but would like to
lock down the field so that imformation has to be typed in
before moving to the next field.
Do you know if this can be done
Many thanks

Hi, Yvonne,

See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/ValidateFFields.htm for some
sample macro code. The test you want to apply is (of course, using the
correct name for the form field)

If Len(Trim(.Result)) = 0 Then
Application.OnTime .... etc.

This will keep the cursor in the form field until the field contains at
least one character that isn't a space.
