Word 97 Form Field Update 1

[CAUFred]

Using Office 97 Pro, I am creating a form in Word that has Check Boxes on page 1. I need to place the character "X" on page 2 of the form if a box is checked. I have tried to use the INSERT/FIELD on page 2 (IF Check1=YES X O) to post the "X" on page 2 with no luck. It will not change the result of the IF statement no matter what the value of Check1 is. What am I missing??? When does Word do Form Field updates????

I'll have a go because no one's answered this (but there may be a better way)

Try an on exit macro for the checkbox.

Make sure you have text field on page two (where the X is to go) that has a bookmark name of Page2X.

Create the following macro.

Sub XonPage2()

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1&quot.CheckBox.Value = True Then
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Page2X&quot.Result = "X"
Else
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Page2X&quot.Result = " "
End If
End Sub

Once you've created the macro, choose it from the On Exit dropdown list for the Checkbox properties.
