Need help creating dialog box with drop-down list.

[Cave_Canem90]

I have created an online form in Word 2002. I am trying to create a macro
that executes upon entry into a particular field. This macro displays a
dialog box with a drop-down list containing eight variables. The user
selects a variable, selects "OK", and the macro places that variable in the
field and takes the user to the next bookmark. Also, if the user selects
"Cancel" or closes the dialog box, the macro forces the user out of the field
to the next bookmark.

I know how to do some of what I'm asking about, but when I try to put it all
together, it doesn't work out. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Certainly not without more information. You need to describe exactly HOW it
doesn't work, and post the code involved with the problem. FWIW, the part about
displaying a form with a dropdown is covered in a KB article. And the part about
moving to different fields in an article on mvps.org
