How do you set a check box to Checked?

[Elena]

I am trying to auto-fill a protected form in MS WORD. I was using setformresult for the fill-in and combo box fields, but it doesn't seem to work for a check box. What should I use?

I have tried:
Wordbasic.setformresult "Check1", -1
that is giving me a "bad parameter" error when run.

I also tried:
WordBasic.setformresult "Check1", True
I got the same error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Elena

Neither -1 nor True is a valid checkbox value. The valid values are:
0 Or vbUnchecked
1 Or vbChecked
2 I'm not sure what the constant is for this one.

So you would need to change the line to:

Wordbasic.setformresult "Check1", vbChecked

If that doesnt work try 0, but the constants are nice if they're available to you in Word VBA. They should be available.

Thanks, but I already figured it out. Here's what I did:

ActiveDocument.FormFields("check1&quot.checkbox.Value = True

That seems to be working fine, now.
