From: LuLu on 30 May 2010 19:12 Simple fillin fields for a fax saved and stored as a template do not update when accessed e.g. file, new, "fax.dot" on one PC will automatically bring up field but same template on another PC will create a new document but not run the fields. I know I can write VB code to update fields but this then runs fillin fields twice on some PCs. Also when fillin fields run cannot see document behind the input boxes (some PCs only). Thanks in advance Lulu
