I wanted to place a field into a form (the check mark box). When I placed it
into my form, it didn't work. I have no idea why......anyone out there have
an answer? I would appreciate any assistance since I am stumped.

Did you protect the document? Formfields don't work if the document
isn't protected.

Assuming you mean a checkbox from the Forms Toolbar, you must first 'Lock'
the form before the checkbox becomes active.

After rereading the "help" on form fields and realizing protection did not
referr to password I protected the form and it worked. Thanks for the
response!

Thanks. I read through the "help" instructions and saw the comment about
protection, but thought it referred to password protection. However, after
rereading it several times I protected the form and it worked. Thanks for
responding to my question.
