electronic form is not working when opened on other stations

[oskar]

hey all...

i just created an electronic document in word...i mean using control
toolbox i implanted in my document textboxes radiobuttons checkboxes
and other stuff...a bit of a code and so on...now it works great from
my station but when i open it on another station nothing happens...

i tried copy paste my controls and code into a blank document opened
on another computer with no result...

say if i create a test document with a textbox and write a code which
inserts the current date into the textbox on double click it still
works only on the computer it was originally created on...

the problem is that this document is supposed to be an electronic form
to be sent to our clients...i need it to function on other computers
too...

another question is wether its possible to lock the document so that
the users can write only in textboxes...i understand that its possible
if the form toolbar is used...then the document can be locked...but it
provides no ability to write code...and i need to use code...on
another hand i found that its impossible to use it together with the
control toolbox...u eigher use one or another...any ideas ???

thanx a lot

The problem is that you are including VBA code in the document, and that
code will no run on client computers where they have Security set to High.

To get round this, it is necssary to sign the document with a digital
signature.

another question is wether its possible to lock the document so that
the users can write only in textboxes...i understand that its possible
if the form toolbar is used...then the document can be locked...but it
