2010 Word user form with checkbox

[Eprice]

Hi,
We are converting our Word 2002 templates to Word 2010. In the old Word our code for the userform initialize event we used this code and it worked fine but does not work in 2010.

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("bmDaily")= True Then
Me.ckDaily.Value = True
Else
Me.ckDaily.Value = False
End If
Does anybody know what the new syntax for Word 2010 is?

Check boxes on a UserForm in 2010 have Value of True/False, so I would investigate the ActiveDocument.FormFields("bmDaily")

What is this FormField("bmDaily")?

Have fun.

FormField("bmDaily") is a checkbox field on the actual document. ckDaily is a checkbox on the userform.

When the user opens the template the 'user form' opens and they fill in information. The 'OK' button on the user form will check the checkbox on the document if they checked the checkbox on the user form. That all still works.

The initialize event is in case they want to reopen the form and make changes. It (the code) does not show the ckeckbox on the userform being checked anymore when the checkbox on the document is checked, like it used to.

FYI,
I figured out my own problem. The code should be written like this now.
If ActiveDocument.FormFields("bmDaily").Result = 1 Then
Me.ckDaily.Value = True
Else
Me.ckDaily.Value = False
End If
Thanks anyway.

I would try:

[blue]Debug.Print ActiveDocument.FormFields("bmDaily")[/blue]

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("bmDaily")= True Then
    Me.ckDaily.Value = True
Else
    Me.ckDaily.Value = False
End If

And see what the [blue]BLUE[/blue] line of code gives you in the Immediate Window in VBA

I can see 'ck' stands for CheckBox, what about 'bm' ?

Have fun.
