Thanks Cindy,

Its 2003. I used the control toolbox checkbox first, then read of all the
trouble of getting hyperlinks to run in a protected form, so when I saw the
run macro on Entry, I thought my problems were solved. On Entry sure looked
like it meant on entry (clicking the checkbox).

My Word VBA is very limited, so inserting the toolbox checkbox control into
the document, double clicking it to bring up the editor, and inserting ..(and
I jave no idea what to add)..... into the code will do it? Or do I also have
to use section breaks to separate it from the protected parts of the document?

Thanks for your quick response though.

Which version of Word is this? There are a couple of versions of Word, with no
SP / SR installed, where the "On Enter" functionality doesn't fire if you use a
mouse to navigate the form fields.

In any case, it's never going to work exactly as you imagine, because On Enter
and On Exit mean exactly that: they fire when the field gets or loses the focus.
There is no "Click" event for form fields. An ActiveX checkbox, from the
Controls Toolbox, could provide this, though.

I have read a lot of great ideas on similar issues but not exactly this one.
In a protected Word Form, we want to add a "continue" check box in a table
cell to allow the form user to 'continue" the input of a cell by clicking a
checkbox that takes him/her to another page where they can continue that item
and click a macrobutton to return them to the cell they were previously in.

I recorded a macro to select the GotoBookmark{bookmark name}
In the Checkbox properties I assigned this maco to the "Run Macro on Entry"
field.

I assumed that when the checkbox was clicked, the form control would run the
macro assigned and the user would be taken to the bookmark.

Unfortunately, I was wrong. It sits there and does nothing with the form
locked. If I unlock the form (but still not in design mode) or with the form
unlocked and in design mode, it simply sits there.
