Run Macro from Button on Document

[Brenda Hutton]

User has a document which is NOT a protected form. She wants to be able to
put a button on the document that will run a macro to sort the info within a
table. I can get a macro to do the sorting but have not figured out how to
get it in a button on the document. I could help her put the macro on the
toolbar, but that is not acceptable for her. Can anyone direct me on how do
run this from the document itself?

Hi Brenda,

A MACROBUTTON field is the normal way of doing this.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Whenever I put a macrobutton in the document
and try to run it, I get an error. Often the macro was working perfectly
well and stops running. Very confusing. Anyway, I'm beginning to think the
problem was in the macro and not in the macrobutton command. I'll keep
working at it. Thanks.

Just confirming the problem WAS in the macro. Got that straightened out and
the macrobutton is working perfectly well. Thanks again for the help.
