You can use WordBasic in forms although you can't use all of the
power of the macros because a form is a type of protected document.
See some of the sample form templates like Invoice which has a
macro called Update. You can edit the macro and look at the code.

When a form is unprotected you can double-click on a form field,
in the Options dialog box there is a group for Run Macro On,
you can have a macro run on entry or exit of the field.

Look in our WordBasic on-line Help for the list of
FF commands - click Search and type in "form fields" then
press Show Topics to see a list of topics.
