Check box problem
I want to include a check box in a form I have created. It appears that to
make the box checkable by users, i.e. by clicking on it, I have to lock the table/form. However, doing this prevents anyone entering text on the others parts of the table/form. Is there any way to make the box checkable without rendering the rest of the form locked please? (One workaround is to double click the box and click on the Checked option. However, this is not really a very user friendly solution for what surely should be simple.) V |

Check box problem
For a form that includes check boxes, you must add text form fields and
dropdown list fields for data entry in the rest of the form. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. If you want to avoid a protected form, you can use a macro+AutoText-based check box that requires a double-click; see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm -- Suzanne S.
