Hi all,
Sorry if I am asking something that has been answered before, but I did
look alot and still haven't found the solution to my specific problem.
We are trying to create a word form for users to fill, which is
automatically populated from information in a database (Using C#). our
form includes all sorts of checkboxes and textboxes. Now we would like
to also track changes on this document, so we can see later what the
user changed more easily.
Now I figured out that we need to first turn on track changes and then
protect the form. But the wierd thing is that once we do this - all our
checkboxes in the form disappears. Tried all sorts of hacks arround -
but no matter what I do - the checkboxes disappear.
We are using word 2000 (sp3).
Is this a known bug? Can this be fixed somehow, maybe by populating the
form using another word version?
Thanks.

Hi Groni,

Are you inserting the checkboxes from the Forms or the Control Toolbox
toolbar?
