Hi I'm new here.
I've searched the web and every where, but I couldn't find a solution for my problem.
I'm creating a form in Word, where user have to fill some data enter a date, a Number and choose from a drop down list a company.
Date and the Text field is clear but what about the drop down box?
First problem the Drop down list from word is only restricted in one Row per field, that mean I can choose only the name of the Company but no further information like Address or contact.
Second the Company data are on a separate excel file, I've seen some code to fill a Word userform dropdown list from an excel file. But I don't want to use a userform
I can easily do it on excel, but word.. :dunno :banghead:
I know how to make 2 drop down boxes in word depended on each other so if you select 1 in DropDownbox1 you have the choice to select A in the second box for example. But I couldn't link a dropdown box with a Text field, I could than bypass the one row restriction in the dropdown box and highlight the right address in the text field by selection just the name of the company in the Box.
An other thing is there a way to make a number that increase by 1 each time I open or save the word document??
Like I said I could easily do it in excel but for word I need :help
Thank you very much.
