How do I compare text entered in form fields (not mailmerge)?

[Tim]

I have a MS Word form (not mail merge) that has a number of fileds on it. I
want to produce error messages (MsgBox) whenever users enter incorrect data.
For example, there is a field for Owner and Manager on my form. Users
frequently enter the same name in these fields and that is not allowed. I
want a function or macro to compare the text in the two fields and if they
are equal, produce an error message.

How do I do this?

I've searched high and low and found nothing to help with this.

Thanks,
Tim

You can write a macro similar to what's shown in
