Help! Form always in design mode

[KerryOrr]

I'm pretty new to forms, I completed my first one yesterday which wok
fine. However, I'm now doing a second which is causing no end o
headaches!
I have followed the instructions in help, but every time I open th
form up it is always in design mode by default, which mean that I hav
to unprotect it and turn design mode off before I can use it properly
I have tried saving it in several different ways, as a word doc and a
a template, but still it opens up in design mode, (still protected)
but the check boxes do not work.
What am I doing wrong

The fact that you mention saving "as a word doc" implies you're not using
Access, the database product that's part of Office Professional, and the
focus of this particular newsgroup.

You'd be best off reposting your question to a newsgroup related to Word.
