How do you have all of the checkboxes and other formfields arranged?

If they each checkbox and the Name and Time text formfields associated with
it were all in a one row of a table in the order Checkbox, Name formfield,
Time formfield, then you should be able to use the following code on exit
from each of the check boxes

With Selection.Rows(1).Range
If .FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value = True Then
.FormFields(2).result = Application.UserName
.FormFields(3).result = Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd -
hh:MM:ss")
Else
.FormFields(2).result = ""
.FormFields(3).result = ""
End If
End With

Indeed, I did post a second time when I thought my first post didn't
work - sorry for the confusion. But to reiterate my last question,
would I have to create a separate macro for each checkbox/text-field
grouping? If so, is there some way to avoid this as I have in mind a
form with about 50 check boxes.

Moderators please delete - post worked first time round! MS Word 2007
help has a good section on how to create a form with check boxes
(using
legacy controls) but I would like to do something a little more
complex,
namely having fields next to the checkbox which update with the the
username of the person setting the check box and the date the check
box
is set. Is this possible? Any advice or suggestion gratefully
received.
