Button onclick event wont' run

[Rick B]

Hello and thanks for your time. I am pretty good with Access vba, but not
so handy in Word.

I have a picture in my document that is basically a chart. I put several
very small buttons on top of this picture. I would like for my users to be
able to click one, and have a messagebox appear with details.

I added the following....

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Msgbox ("test")
End Sub

When I click the button, nothing happens.

Can anyone shed some light here?

Thanks!!

Rick B

Works fine over here (Word 2003).
Are you still in design mode?

Note:

I was able to do basically the same thing in a new document on a different
computer, and it worked great! Does that help any?

I think we found it.

We closed the document, reopened it, answered "yes" when it asked us if we
wanted to allow the running of scripts, and then it worked.

Guess the security settings on medium were throwing us off.

That's right, you have to allow Word to run macros for these buttons to
work.
Glad you found it!
