WORD MACRO

[Matthew Andrews]

I am having lots of problems with what should be a simple
macro. I am creating a form in word. What I want to happen
is that when the user selects a certain option from the
dropdown, it will execute another macro. however my code
doesnt seem to do that at all.

here is my code

Sub dropdown()
'
' dropdown Macro
' Macro created 9/12/2003 by matt
'
If dropdown1.Value = "Not Accepted" Then
comment
End If

End Sub
Sub comment()
'
' comment Macro
' Macro recorded 9/12/2003 by matt
'
Selection.comments.Add Range:=Selection.Range
End Sub

Can anyone help me so this executes when the dorp down
item is selected

Hi Matthew,

The correct syntax is

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Dropdown1").Result = "Not Accepted" Then
Call Comment
End If
