Dear All In word form, at the bottom I will have a date field. But sometimes I might take out a print out one week before the required date or would like to put a projected date. Hence, how to make this field accesbl? br/captgnvr
See http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_other_than_today.htm and the linked article on date fields. -- Brian McCaffery "CAPTGNVR" wrote: > Dear All > > In word form, at the bottom I will have a date field.

D/Brian Thanks for the link and I read same. I was looking for a easier way to have that particular date field unprotected, so that if anyone want to use a different date they can over type. brgds/captgnvr "Brian" wrote: > > See > http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_other_than_today.htm and the linked > article on date fields. > > -- > Brian McCaffery > > > "CAPTGNVR" wrote: > > > Dear All > > > > In word form, at the bottom I will have a date field.

If we assume that the date field is bookmarked Text1 then set the type of field as date with no default entry. Run the following macro on entry to that field and it will insert today's date but leave it editable should you wish to change it later. Sub AddDate() Dim myDate As Date myDate = format(Date, "dd/MM/yy") ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result = myDate End Sub -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> CAPTGNVR wrote: > D/Brian > > Thanks for the link and I read same. > > I was looking for a easier way to have that particular date field > unprotected, so that if anyone want to use a different date they can > over type. > > brgds/captgnvr > > "Brian" wrote: > >> >> See >> http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_other_than_today.htm and the >> linked article on date fields. >> >> -- >> Brian McCaffery >> >> >> "CAPTGNVR" wrote: >> >>> Dear All >>> >>> In word form, at the bottom I will have a date field.
