AutoSave a doc based on a form field   

Howdy,

I have a word doc which users enter in field information. The form is locked 
and data entry is great. When the users leave a field, log no, I'd like to 
autosave the document using a macro. So after they leave field LogNo, save 
the document as "report_12334.doc" to the default directory. Well, this is 
pulling from SharePoint WSS, so it should save back to the WSS list. How do 
I write a macro like this?

Thanks!!

Well, getting the macro to execute is simple enough, just assign it from the 
"On Exit" in the field's options.

How to save to WSS: try recording using File/Save As in a macro to a WSS 
folder. That should give you an idea what the file path needs to look like.
