Repeating checkboxes
I am creating a Word form with multiple copies containing REF fields in the
second copy so that when a user fills out the form field in the first page of the form, those fields will be populated in the second. This form also has checkboxes. Is there a way to link checkboxes from the first page so that they are repopulated in the second page? |

Repeating checkboxes
Hi ?B?am9uLm11bGxpY2hAd2FtdS5uZXQ=?=,
I am creating a Word form with multiple copies containing REF fields in the second copy so that when a user fills out the form field in the first page of the form, those fields will be populated in the second. This form also has checkboxes. Is there a way to link checkboxes from the first page so that they are repopulated in the second page? No simple way, unfortunately. Any solution will require a macro. You could have a macro, for instance, that executes when the user leaves the checkbox and writes the current state of the checkbox to other form fields. Here's a bit of sample code to give you an idea Sub UpdateFormCheckboxes() Dim bCheckState As Boolean Dim doc As Word.Document Set doc = ActiveDocument bCheckState = Selection.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value doc.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = bCheckState End Sub Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Repeating checkboxes
There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration of these. It also has a macro to replicate the contents of a formfield checkbox in place of a REF field. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
