Check Box Value

[John Crews]

I am looking for a way to find out if a check box (or actually if one of two
check boxes) have been checked. I need to do this in a text form field on
the properties Expression field using Calculation as the type. I tried
something like this IF(CheckBox1,1,2) in the Expression but it did not work.
I have the calculate on exit check on the check boxes. I would prefer not
to do this in VBA. I would prefer to do this using the Calculate On Exit
and Expression.

Does anyone have any advice for me?

You have to use VBA to do anything with the .Value of a checkbox formfield

To get the value, you need to use

ActiveDocument.FormFields("CheckBox1").CheckBox.Value
