If your macro does not show a message, then it isn't running at all.<br />
<br />
The first line should either give an error message and/or carry on to produce the programmed message : - &quot;Check1 checked&quot;<br />
<br />
What mechanism are you using to start the macro code?

Hi GrahamSkan,<br />

Already sorted. It seems that the on exit field method reacts in weird ways with Word Forms. <br />
<br />
Thanks anyway for the input<br />

I'm new to Word Forms so I'm testing out a Word 2003 Form with a few checboxes on it (bkCheck1; bkCheck2, bkCheck2). I've put a Macro on the form that triggers on exit from bkCheck1. The Macro is below and is just a test, so I've made it as simple as I could but it doesn't work. I've locked the form before testing, made sure the MS Office Word 11 Object library has been loaded, enabled Macros and checked the Macro is hooked onto the document. Nothing<br />

Sub Macro1()<br />
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(&quot;<wbr />bkCheck3&quot;)<wbr />.Select<br />
MsgBox (&quot;Check1 checked&quot;)<br />
End Sub

Automated Word 2003 Forms using VBA

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
