MS Word form to reference a large database

[Karen Newman]

I have a form that I need to modify. The change requires that the M
Word form references a database of about 2500 test numbers and tes
names. In case you are able to help me or know of someone who can
I’ve laid out the request below

MS Word form (2 columns – multiple rows) needs to be able to

• In Test Number column
o User starts typing the 6-digit number/code in the cel
o The cell should auto-fill the test number/code from a list of abou
250
o The associated Test Name should auto-fill in the next cell in th
row (in the Test Name column)

AND/OR

• In Test Name column
o User starts typing the test name in the cel
o The cell should auto-fill the test name from a list of about 250
o The associated Test Number should auto-fill in the appropriate cel
in the row (in the Test Number column)

I have no experience with VBA, but am open to trying it
