Shade box IF checked (protected form)

[~KO]

Word 2000 - protected form using checkboxes in a table format
Yes and No checkboxes are in their own cell

Would like to set the NO checkbox to turn cell red if selected.

This is the macro and the first Selection line keeps highlighting yellow and
I get a '4605' error message.

KO,

The document (or at least the section) has to be unprotected and reprotected
to change the cell color. Something like:

Sub ColorCell()
Dim oForm As Document
Set oForm = ActiveDocument
oForm.Unprotect
If oForm.FormFields("Check2").Result = True Then
Selection.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorRed
Else
Selection.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
End If
oForm.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True

End Sub

Where "Check2" is a one of your no check boxes in its own cell.

KO,

A little refined:

Run macro on exit from each "NO" checkbox:

Sub ColorCell()
Dim oForm As Document
Set oForm = ActiveDocument
oForm.Unprotect
If Selection.FormFields(1).Result = True Then
Selection.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorRed
Else
Selection.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
End If
oForm.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End Sub

Thanks for your support! I tried this and got a compile error Expected End
Sub. I always say...I know enough to be dangerous and I am trying to learn
more.

Greg You Rule! I just had a coworker walk by and he showed me two things I
needed to fix. Had to comment out Sub ColorCell and get rid of an extra End
Sub.
thank you again!

Sorry, I wondered if you could tell me how to turn off the shading if the
user unchecked NO. I'm thinking ahead to the user community when they
accidentally check NO. When I uncheck No the red is still there even if I
unprotect and protect the form. thanks!

Never mind it does reset to white!

KO,

A little refined:

Run macro on exit from each "NO" checkbox:

Sub ColorCell()
Dim oForm As Document
Set oForm = ActiveDocument
oForm.Unprotect
If Selection.FormFields(1).Result = True Then
Selection.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorRed
Else
Selection.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
End If
oForm.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End Sub
