I'm try to create a Development Plan word document in 2007 were the user can click a button to add text boxes to record relevant details, I'm wanting it to work like this.

The user chooses a development area and then has the ability to click a button to add an action/s. When this button is clicked I need it to add the following - text box for "action", drop down box for "progress" (%), drop down box for "Category" and date picker for "due date".

They would need the ability to add a max of three actions per development area.

Having worked mainly with VBA in excel, the above is driving me nuts as surely it's achievable ??

"They would need the ability to add a max of three actions per development area."

Do you mean three textboxes of actions?

Sorry for the confusion the document is set out as follows

The user enters a "development Objective" into a text box
They then add "Actions" on how they are going to achieve this objective, so may have more than one action - max 3
Each "Action" requires a progress % (drop down box), Category (drop down box) and Due Date (date picker)

Was having a think about this today and I could use "Text Box (activeX Control)" rather than plain text boxes - as long as when printed all of the text would be visable :-)
