JL>I am seeking help with a problem that requires some expertise with Word
Basic.
JL>I have placed several Drop-down form fields pn a page and wish to create a
JL>macro which will read the 'value' in each field and compare it with the
JL>selected value in other drop-down fields.  However, when I tried assigning 
a
JL>variable value to the selected option in a drop-down form field, the value
JL>stored was not that of the actual text in the field, but the fact that 
there
JL>was a field at that bookmark location.
JL>Can someone give me some suggestions as to how I can make a macro read the
JL>value in a field, rather than the fact that the field exists?
JL>I will be most appreciative of any assistance,
Use the GetFormResult$ command... ie
city$ = GetFormResult$("DropDown1")
city2$ = GetFormResult$("DropDown2")
If city$ = city2$ then....
Good luck
John
