Prompting to fill out forms DM 12/15/2008 5:55:01 PM I need a way to prompt to fill out ALL forms before being saved. How do I do this? For instance, if someone only fills in some of the forms in a document then tries to save, I want something to pop up and tell them: "Please fill out all forms before saving". Is this even possible? Thanks

Re: Prompting to fill out forms DM 12/16/2008 8:27:19 PM This was helpful, but it wasn't what I was looking for. From what I read, this was for when somebody is actually filling out every form, but what I was looking for was this: We have sales reps that are supposed to fill out the request document. There are forms in the request documents and most of them do not fill out EVERY form on the document- they would just leave them empty. I need something to throw them back to the forms they did not fill out at all as they go to save the document. Thanks for the help though! D "Suzanne S.

Re: Prompting to fill out forms "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/16/2008 8:36:16 PM If there are forms unfilled, then presumably there are form fields unfilled? -- Suzanne S.
