Sorry... I think I got it wrong in the first time.

You need it to automatically store the selections without the button?

In this case,

You can go to setttings-> document Properties -> Triggers

Select your field, click on add Actions and the rest will be just like the button.

Actually why i'm trying to do this  i had list boxes like following image:

- If i select Group in 1st listbox it should automatically select all data in 2nd listbox. i.e like this

- For this i return a macro based on listbox and to work this i return a expression in listbox.

- Is there any other solution to do this.

- The think is if i select Group it should automatically select all data in 2nd listbox and if i unselect Group it should deselect all the data in 2nd listbox.

- And user can choose again selection in 2nd listbox after selecting in 1st group.

But if listbox contains expression how can i achive this..

Ok,

Please include this code in your macro module:

SUB selPossible

    set val=ActiveDocument.Fields("GROUP").GetSelectedValues

    IF ( val.Count >0) THEN

        ActiveDocument.Fields("MEMBER").SelectPossible

    ELSE

        ActiveDocument.Fields("MEMBER").CLEAR

    END IF

end sub

It wil get selections in the field GROUP to apply in the FIELD MEMBER.

If the user de-select group, it will clear the MEMBER    

You should call this macro from the onSelect and onChange trigger of the field GROUP

(at settings->document properties -> triggers)

(You need to change the code to work with your own fields)

Hope this helps,

Erich
