Linking two forms

[Pixie]

I want to link like fields on two separate forms so that while a user
completes Form1, the fields on Form2 get updated. At the end, the user would
have two different forms completed with the same information.

Would a macro be able to call a different document in this way? Or is there
some other way to accomplish this or am I dreaming?

Thanks!

Yes, a macro could do it, but it would have to know (or acquire at run-time)
all the details of file names and paths, and all the field names in both
documents and how they correspond to each other. It isn't going to be
simple, and certainly not what I'd choose as a first project for someone who
isn't familiar with macro programming.
