User Form to Replace Master & SubDocument

[Mrs. Robinson]

I want to replace a Master & SubDocument series with a User Form (M&S crashes
constantly).
I have a list of 11 managers to pick from and don't always select each one,
but the order also constantly changes. What do suggest to be the best format
to use in this case? I thought to use check boxes to select the manager, but
not sure how to re-order the inserts.

Thanks,
MR

We really need more information on what you are doing, but you could have a
userform with two list boxes, one of which is populated with all of the
managers names with the other one being populated by selecting names in the
first list box and moving them to the second in the required order.

See the following pages of Greg Maxey's website:

Those articles are very helpful...thanks!

We have managers report on a weekly basis. They fill in their own
subdocuments and we re-arrange them according to the order in which they will
report at a meeting, and print. Sometimes they aren't here because of travel
so they don't report personally but their reports are still generated at the
end of the master doc. Once they hit okay, I want their reports inserted
into the master doc in order and ready for print.

For that, I would think that the easiest thing to do would be to put all of
the reports into a folder by themselves and renaming each of them with a
filename that started with numerals 01, 02, 03, - 10, 11 corresponding to
the order in which you want them presented and then sort on the filenames to
get them into that order and then select them all and right click and select
Print.
