Form Fields

[Mark Baird]

I am using the following code to protect a form. Is it possible that
protecting a form can set a checkbox to true?

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True,
Password:=FORM_PASSWORD

Hi Mark,

Include the command

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the

Sorry for not clarifying but I have had reports from users of
checkboxes being set to true without any user intervention.

When the form is loaded a global addin is also loaded. The form is
temporarily "unprotected" so that a menu can be built. Once the menu
is built the form is "reprotected" with a password.

Given that my question is: are there any known bugs that will
mysteriously set a checkbox to true.

Hi Mark,

Not that I am aware of, but you could include the following in your code to
ensure that it is false immediately after the document is protected:

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = False
