check value of Checkbox in Word form

[Byron]

Is there a way to check the value of a checkbox that
exists as a forms checkbox using VBA?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Byron

Checkout the checkboxes Value property, as in:

If chkIncudeName.Value Then
' Do something
End If

You may also preced the check box with the form name, if you're checking outside the scope of the form, e.g.

If frmMyDialog.chkMyCheckBox.Value The
'code for when user selected the check bo
Els
'code for when the user deselected the check bo
End I

I really appreciate the responses, however, I am not
working with a user form, but a checkbox inserted as a
Formfield in a Word doc.

Can you help with this?

Hi

Your CheckBox FormField probably has a default name of "CheckN' where N is a
number unless you've renamed it. Assuming you haven't you can use the
following code to refer to the value of the FormField:

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").Result

A value of 1 = Checked and 0 = unchecked.

Hi Byron,

ActiveDocument.Formfields("Check1").CheckBox.Value

will return "True" if the checkbox to which the bookmark name "Check1" is
assigned is checked and "False" if it is not.
