Validation of form field

[Mark]

We're still using Word 97!

Can someone assist me with some code which looks at the result of a form
field and if the form field contains a "/" or "\" the user is presented with
a msgbox stating that these characters cannot be used?

See the article "How to validate the contents of a formfield in a Word form"
at:

You would use the Instr() function to determine if the .Result of the
formfield contained the invalid characters.
