Creating drop-down list with VBA

[LindsayR]

Am using VBA in Word to create a drop-down list. I want
the list to appear in a bookmarked form field and am
setting it up as an "on-entry" macro....the code I have so
far uses range (which I don't think is right) the
parameters Start: and End send the list to the top of the
form (not good). How can I word the code to have the list
appear in the bookmarked form field referenced in the
code? I know I'm not even close on this one.....

Sample of where I am at.....

Sub Dropdown()

Set ffield = ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add( _
Range:=ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0), _
Type:=wdFieldFormDropDown)

With ffield
.Name = "No1"
With .Dropdown.ListEntries
.Add Name:="Entry 1"
.Add Name:="Entry 2"
.Add Name:="Entry 3"
End With
End Sub

The dropdown formfield is being created as the first thing in the document
because that is where

Range:=ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0)

is located.

Where actually do you want the dropdown to be located?

Are you saying that you want the macro to run on entry to another formfield
and replace that formfield or what?
