Forms and AutoText

J

jerem

I have a form and I am using the following code to test if a check box is
checked and if so, to insert Autotext. Everything works fine, however, after
the autotext is inserted I would like the cursor to return to the first fill
in formfield of the autotext just inserted. Right now, it is going to the
next fillin formfield after the checkbox. I've tried various code after the
line ".AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(ATEntryName).Insert myRange, True",
but have had no luck. I'm right now scouring the internet for solutions, but
if anybody can answer this I would greatly appreciate it. Please note, I
need to retain the Check1 Bookmark for a marker as to where to put the
Autotext so I can't mess with that. Thanks for your help.


Sub AdditionalClientList()
'
Dim ffname As String
ffname = Selection.FormFields(1).Name
With ActiveDocument
.Unprotect
If .FormFields(ffname).CheckBox.Value = True Then
InsertATEntry "Check1", "MoreClientInfo", True
Else
.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, noreset
Exit Sub
End If
.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, noreset
End With

End Sub

Public Sub InsertATEntry(BkmkName As String, ATEntryName As String, Optional _
bRestoreBkmk As Boolean = False)
With ActiveDocument
If .Bookmarks.Exists(BkmkName) = True Then
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = .Bookmarks(BkmkName).Range
On Error GoTo ATEError
.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(ATEntryName).Insert myRange,
True
.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = False
If bRestoreBkmk = True Then .Bookmarks.Add BkmkName, myRange
Else: MsgBox "Cannot find the bookmark " & BkmkName & "."
End If
End With
Exit Sub

ATEError:
MsgBox "The required AutoText entry " & ATEntryName & " could not be
found.", _
vbCritical, "AutoText Error"
End Sub
