When one check box is checked I want to have others checked in the same
msword document. For instance if one checkbox is checked in a protected
document how do you link to another checkbox so that it is checked too? I
have used ref to link text boxes but that does not work with checkboxes.

Danny,

Thought for sure that I answered this a few days ago, but I can't find the
post. You can do it with a macro set to run on exit from the master
checkbox. Something like:

Sub DupCheckMark()
If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = True
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check3").CheckBox.Value = True
Else
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = False
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check3").CheckBox.Value = False
End If
End Sub

Greg, I have several checkboxs that I want to check the first one and then
have it check the other 3. When I use your code below it works for the first
three but will not work for the fourth one. Is there a reason? Also, I
have about 7 checkboxes on this form that I need to do the same thing with,
is this possible?

You can find code for synchronizing checkbox results in the sample with my
checkbox template at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm.

I could not find where it would allow me to check one box and it check 3 more
boxes in the protected document. I have at least 7 different checkboxes on
this one form that I need to check 3 more boxes after the first one of each
of those 7 are checked.

Loretta,

I doubt that Charle's webpage is going to deal specifically with your
issue. I posted an answer to your question last Friday. I see that it
is visible in Google groups, but if for some reason you can't find it,
let me know and I will repost.

Did you download it? It has a document with the specific code for
replicating checkbox responses.

How do you set a macro to run on exit from the checkbox? I have word 2003.

Look up the OnExit event in the VBA help :-)
