Afternoon,
I have been developing a template for my employees to use and have run in to
a wall. I am hoping one of you gurus can help me out.

On this template I have a section for "Mortgages", a macro is set to fire
after the user enters the number of mortgages that should appear on the
report. This macro creates a table with x number of identical fields, each
representing an individual mortgage.

That part works all well and good, I have run in to an issue however in
trying to nest a macro within the created table. Each Mortgage field has a
separate area for "Assignments". I am trying to build a macro that allows the
user to enter a number in a form field in each individual mortgage section
that will create x number of assignment fields as necessary.

My questions are as follows:
1) How do I insert a table within a table? Or if this is not possible, insert
rows to the existing table?
2) For the form field that is created in each mortgage section to prompt the
user for the number of assignments that should appear, how do I not only
assign that form field to fire off the macro that builds the assignment table,
but set a bookmark in that section as well? (the assignments need to appear
below the parent mortgage)

Thank you in advance.

------------Here is the code for the mortgage section:----------

The following code will insert a two column four row table within the first
cell of the first table in a document:

Dim insertedtable As Table, i As Long
Set insertedtable =
ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range, 1, 2)
With insertedtable
For i = 1 To 3
.Rows.Add
Next i
With .Borders(wdBorderLeft)
.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(wdBorderRight)
.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(wdBorderTop)
.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(wdBorderBottom)
.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(wdBorderHorizontal)
.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(wdBorderVertical)
.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
End With
.Borders(wdBorderDiagonalDown).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
.Borders(wdBorderDiagonalUp).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
.Borders.Shadow = False
End With
With Options
.DefaultBorderLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
.DefaultBorderLineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
.DefaultBorderColor = wdColorAutomatic
End With

To assign a macro to a formfield, use either

ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname").EntryMacro = "macroname"

or

ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname").ExitMacro = "macroname"
