Hi I am desperate to find help on form creation.
I have been trying to keep as simple as possible.
Creating a form for users to complete on the network in my
company. Everything worked fine using tab through the
relative fields but the boss won't use tab and insists on
using Enter but the fields and the rest of the form keeps
pushing down. Is there a way to stop this. I also tried
control toolbox and this would be ok for the boss but I
don't know where to find the display list option in the
properties (using xp) I can find Value and tried to enter
the names for the combo list separated by a ; but it's not
working it shows as eg:

Department: (combobox) HR;IT;Sales instead of listing
down??? I am desperate to sort this out this evening
please someone help!!!
Many thanks and kind regards

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more
about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You will find a link on the first page to a
fix for the Enter key. The word "enter" is in red on the page with the link.

Hope this helps,
