I have a question regarding a WORD 2007 form used to gather information from users. I had it working in WORD 2003 then pulled it over into WORD 2007 and got it working but couldn t leave well enough alone and decided to write it from scratch in WORD 2007. I have cursed that decision ever since....
What I have is some VBA that generates a sequence number and posts it into a field/bookmark in a document. Then I used the pick a date control to capture a date. Then there are content controls to capture data elements about the user, e.g., name, email address, which get selected from a drop down list. Then there are content controls to capture information about systems, again, name, location, OS, etc.
Then there is a section of the template that used legacy check boxes to identify specific tools and reports, that the user needs to select.
Finally followed by a content control to capture a name and another to pick another date and then the last content control is to capture notes.
The problem I am having is that the VBA code works fine. The sequence number gets generated and posted to the document. That is as far as I get. I understand that the document must be protected for the legacy checkboxes to function as intended. I have tried dviding the template up into sections and and protecting only that section containing the legacy check marks. I have a situation wherein if I "Open" the .dotm file the content controls work but as soon as I double click the .dotm none of the content controls work...
I would be happy to send you the file if it would help you help me....
Thanks,
Ferg
