CalculateOnExit Property

True if references to the specified form field are automatically updated whenever the field is exited. Read/write Boolean.

Remarks

A REF field can be used to reference the contents of a form field. For example, {REF SubTotal} references the form field marked by the SubTotal bookmark.

Example

This example keeps references to form fields in Form.doc from being automatically updated whenever the form field is exited.

Dim ffLoop As FormField

For Each ffLoop In Documents("Form.doc").FormFields
    ffLoop.CalculateOnExit = False
Next ffLoop
		

This example adds a text form field and a REF field in a new document. Whenever text is typed and the Text1 field is exited, the REF field is automatically updated.

With Documents.Add
    .FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
        Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput
    .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
        Type:=wdFieldRef, Text:="Text1"
    .FormFields("Text1").CalculateOnExit = True
    .Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields
End With
