5941 error on formfield code

[RW]

I have a macro set for the 'Exit' of a checkbox. In the macro I have the
following:

If ActiveDocument.Formfields("Check1").Checkbox.Value = True Then

This line gives me an error 5941
'The requested member of the collection does not exist.'

The checkbox is called "Check1".

I even tried Msgbox(ActiveDocument.Formfields("Check1").Checkbox.Value) in
the Immediate Window and get the same results. Do I need a Reference
installed or something?

Thanks for the response. I found the problem. I had copied some text to Word
and modified it there. The font in Word was different than in the vb editor.
Therefore, the new quotes ("") that I added in Word did not translate to ""
in the vb editor. When I deleted them in the editor and added them back,
everything works. It sure seems that vb editor should be able to interpret ""
regardless of the font.
