tab to the next form field

[Eric]

I have a legal document set up as protected for filling out forms, and some
of the field forms have formatting applied to dates & currencies.

When I populate the document programatically, the field formats I need
aren't applied until I tab through the doc, hence this posting.

Much Thanks In Advance,
Eric

Here's what I'm doing now, which isn't working

Private Sub TabThruForm(doc As Word.Document)
' seems to set the formatting of the fields properly
Dim k As Integer
Dim frmFlds As Word.FormFields
Set frmFlds = doc.FormFields
For k = 1 To frmFlds.Count
If k <> frmFlds.Count Then frmFlds(k).Next.Select
Next k
frmFlds(1).Select
End Sub
