Hi all,
I'm currently using master/subdocuments Word in to save me having to update many letters when things change (phone numbers, required fields etc).
I'm also using input boxes to prompt the users for data that the letter then prefills for them (also into subdocuments).
The problem I'm having is that when the doucment loads I have this:
in the AutoOpen() section of a module, but it doesn't actually cause the subdocuments to be opened and locaed before the user is prompted for data.
I think it has something to do with the fact that when the document loads it is locked as a master document - I have been unable to figure out how to unlock it, load the subdocuments and then prompt users for input.
I have tried this:
But it only works for documents that are locked with form-fields (which my letters are also).
Any ideas?
