If you assign the bookmark names checkname to the checkbox and textname to
the formfield in which you want the user name to be displayed and texttime
to the formfield in which you want the time to be displayed and you run a
macro containing the following code on exit from the checkname checkbox, it
will populate the textname and texttime formfields with the name of the
user and the time at which the checkbox was checked respectively.

With ActiveDocument
If .FormFields("checkName").CheckBox.Value = True Then
.FormFields("textName").result = Application.UserName
.FormFields("textTime").result = Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd -
hh:MM:ss")
Else
.FormFields("textName").result = ""
.FormFields("textTime").result = ""
End If
End With

Modify the format string to get the time in the format that you want it.
Check out the Format function in the visual basic help file to see the
various options.

I would like to create a checklist in Word using a form. The in-built
Help gives a good description on how to create a form and add
check-boxes to it, but I would like also to have fields next to the
check boxes which auto-populate with the user name when the check box
is set, and another field which auto-fills the time the check box was
ticked. Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
