table form exit macro add a table row

[skbenlc]

Need assistance:

I'm working with a basic table generated using 2003 ms word forms.

Each cell of the table has a text form fill cell - table has one row,
and five cols.

The document has been saved as a template with the following macro
entered into the last cell.

Protection enabled.

Intent is for the last cell to be used to prompt the user on exit if
an additional row is needed.

If yes - another row is added - if not then allowed to move on to the
next section of the form which is unprotected.

I found this macro -- labled to add a table row using word forms.

I get the following error message: "Compile Error - Sub or Function
not defined"

Do I need to book mark the first cell in the table?

The macro is named as Macro6 and set for exit -- bookmark is filled in
as text5



Sub Macro6()


' Macro created 02/02/03 by Doug Robbins
' To add a new row to a table containing formfields in every column
' automatically on exit from the last cell in the present last row of
the
Table
Dim rownum As Long, i As Long
Dim Response
Response = MsgBox("Do you need to add another row to the table?",
vbYesNo +
vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2, "Add another Row")
If Response = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
With ActiveDocument
.Unprotect
With Selection.Tables(1)
.Rows.Add
rownum = .Rows.Count
For i = 1 To .Columns.Count
ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Range:=.Cell(rownum,
i).Range,
Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput
Next i
.Cell(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Range.FormFields
(1).ExitMacro
= "addRow"
.Cell(.Rows.Count, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Select
End With
.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End With
Else ' User chose No.
Exit Sub
End If


End Sub

The problem will be caused by line breaks inserted by the mail program. In
the following copy of the code, I have inserted linebreaks that will be
recognised by the Visual Basic Editor, which should overcome the problem.

Dim rownum As Long, i As Long
Dim Response
Response = MsgBox("Do you need to add another row to the table?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2, "Add another Row")
If Response = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
With ActiveDocument

rownum = .Rows.Count

Entered the above macro: The only editing change I'm seeing is the _
located on the Response Line Questionf "Do you need to add another row
to the table?", _

Also noted that the End Sub was omitted -- ran the macro both ways --
with, and without the End Sub.: received the same "Compile Error -
Sub or Function not defined"

Thanks

The End Sub is of course required. However look a bit close and you will
see that I also altered the lines

ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Range:=.Cell(rownum,
i).Range,

and

.Cell(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Range.FormFields
(1).ExitMacro
= "addRow"

to

ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Range:=.Cell(rownum, _
i).Range,

.Cell(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Range.FormFields _
(1).ExitMacro = "addRow"

If you click on Debug, what line of code is highlighted.

Edit made to the ActiveDocument.Form line:

Macro is now Launches on exit from last field in the table.

I get the prompt message "Do you need to add another row to the table"

When I select yes - get the following error:

run time error "5485"
The password is incorrect

In checking debug: cursor stops on: .Unprotect

Do I need to edit the line with .Unprotect(name of password)

Thanks

I know this is getting to be a long string:

The macro is now generating the following results:

exit last table cell - macro executes -- produces run time error
"4120" Bad parameter
When I select "End" I have the following results:
Row is generated for the table
Document is in a unprotected state
When I reinstate protection the two cells with drom down info do not
appear.
The cells in the original row are still active with their drop down
selections.

revised macro now reads as follows:

Sub Macro6()
' Macro created 02/02/03 by Doug Robbins
' To add a new row to a table containing formfields in every column
' automatically on exit from the last cell in the present last row of
the Table

Dim rownum As Long, i As Long
Dim Response
Response = MsgBox("Do you need to add another row to the table?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2, "Add another Row")
If Response = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
With ActiveDocument
.Unprotect Password:="smith"
With Selection.Tables(1)
.Rows.Add
rownum = .Rows.Count
For i = 1 To .Columns.Count
ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Range:=.Cell(rownum, _

Next i
.Cell(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Range.FormFields _

.Cell(.Rows.Count, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Select
End With
