Linda-

My work in Word when I attempt to use Word Forms is like being in a dark 
room with flying bird and a shotgun. Shoot at where I -think- the bird is 
and eventually I get lucky. (This requires an infinite supply of patience 
and ammo!)

Will your course in Word teach me how to use Forms better than this? I 
would like a Form that:

1. Allows me to pick which data file I want to use, or type in a new name. 
For this email I will assume I have a file name Whispering Meadows Memorial 
Cemetery in a drop down list.
2. Allow me to enter a surname from a drop down list or add to that list.
3 Enter a first name.
4. Enter when born MM/DD/YYYY.  (The four digit format is necessary.)
5. Enter when died.   (If born and/or died date is missing, use "Unknown 
Date" instead.)
6. Picture of stone taken? (Yes/No)
7. Stone type
8. Stone condition
9. Directions on how to get to cemetery.


I have been trying to make something like this for three weeks now. My 
forms are so error-ridden, I am ashamed of them. Looking at my requirements 
for it, it -looks- simple, but it is proving difficult to me.

Thank you.

Robert
