templates with macros

[Kim K]

Is there an easy way to make changes to a form that contain macros and keep
all the macros and controls in place? I am forever adjusting my forms per
uers request, and for every change I have had to completely rebuild each form
and manually add in the macros and calendar controls etc. My forms are not
held on any one server and need to be intact and sent via email or downloaded
from our website.

Normally, you would just open the template and make the required changes.
How are you going about it?

open template - make changes, save, which requires a rename, close, Open
fixed template, do Alt+11 - the script shows that all macros refer back to
old template, - so if I delete old template, macors do not work. I hope this
makes sense.

i used to do the same thing, someone wants this added or removed, sometimes
it was the color or whatever. the smart thing to remember is that you cannot
please everyone. make one template that works for most and a comments
section at the bottom for various misc. notes. you'll save a lot of time,
ateast i did.

regards,

jat

How are you "opening" the template?
