Similar Text Form Fields to be Filled Using Dialog Box

[Bill]

I have a form with multiple text form field entries on
row1 (text1, more1, add1) that are filled in by the use of
a dialog box. I want to be able to detect if row1 has been
completed and, if so, enter the data in row2 (text2,
more2, add2), but can't figure it out. I'm using Word 2002.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance, Bill

Hi Bill,

I have a form with multiple text form field entries on
row1 (text1, more1, add1) that are filled in by the use of
a dialog box. I want to be able to detect if row1 has been

I'd check the .Result property of one (or all) of the form
fields. If it's a zero length string, the field is empty
(Len(ActiveDocument.Formfields("NAME").Result) = 0)
