Checkbox Macro on Exit

[Guest]

I've created a form template with "x" boxes. I'd like for
the "xed" box to become red in color when the user clicks
on it. I've tried assigning a macro to do this, but the
message I get upon use is that the macro cannot be
performed because the document is protected (which it
would be, being a form!)

Anybody have an idea for a work-around? (My experience w/
Visual Basic is minimal, but I think I can plug in a
macro.)

Thanks! Jenny

You need to (within your macro) unprotect the document, make your change,
and then reprotect the document without resetting data.

Hi Jenny,

Because you're knowledge is minimal you need something
like this:

With ActiveDocument

If .ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection
Then .Unprotect Password:="pswrd"

'You're code

.Protect Password:="pswrd", NoReset:=True, Type:=
_
wdAllowOnlyFormFields

End With

Have fun,
