>Can this be done, if so, can you tell me how? Yes it can be done (HA!...to those of you who have been around here a bit, I KNOW I sound like a broken record with these types of answers, but think of how *I* feel...I've been answering these same Qs for over 9 years!<lol>...but, if I understand it correctly, she'll need to use a little VBA. She should check out my series of AutoForms articles at www.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms, where she will find many examples of how to do various things with forms. And putting that checkbox into the doc...means she now has a form! She'll need to click View/Toolbars and turn on the Forms toolbar. There she'll get her checkbox (NOT the Control Toolbox...those are ActiveX controls and more sophisticated!). Then she'll have to create a macro or two that will check the state of the checkbox and add/delete whatever fields as needed. You can give her this code as a sample. Tell her to put one checkbox on a page, name it "myCheckboxName" (no quotes) and then add this macro code into the code modules and double click the Checkbox field to add this macro name into the RUN MACRO ON EXIT field. When the user tabs out of the checkbox, this code will fire and she'll get a message box to know if it is checked or not. Anything further...I don't understand what she wants, so you'll either have to tell us more later after she gets this far. But tell her to read my articles to see all the things she can do...and if she doesn't know how to use this code in a code module, tell her to read this article: Sharing Macros http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=166 '********************* Sub GetCheckBoxValue() Dim boolCheckValue As Boolean boolCheckValue = ActiveDocument.FormFields("myCheckboxName").CheckBox.Value If boolCheckValue = True Then MsgBox "The box is checked" 'do something like show field Else MsgBox "The box is NOT checked" 'do something, like delete field End If End Sub '********************* Dian D.

Here's a question my wife came up with, and of course me not being a word expert I figured I'd post and see who is!. She has a table in one column she wants a 'CheckBox' in each of the cells when the check box is checked she wants TWO other entries fields (UserID, Date) appear in that cell that must be completed before the user can leave that cell. she doesn't want those two fields to appear if the box is NOT checked. Can this be done, if so, can you tell me how?
