W97 Form Field Crash

[Steve Hill]

If I add a form field to a doc and select properties, W97 crashes every time.
Anybody got any idea why this might be happening?

Yep. The reasons for this are:

1. You have two macros named the same in the same scope. For example
in Module1 you have Sub Main() and in Module2 you have
Sub Main(). You either need to rename one of the macros or see reason
#2.

2. You don't have the Post Service Release for Word 97 installed which
corrects this issue.

Here is some info on how to obtain all of the updates:
