SUMMARY
When you use the Microsoft Word FormFields collection item with the CheckBox object, the value returned is a Boolean (True/False). To test whether the check box is selected, you can use the If statement.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.

The following example code displays a message box telling you whether the check box is selected or not selected. This code is designed to run as an On Exit macro assigned to a check box.

Sub GetCheckBoxValue If Selection.FormFields("check1").Result = True Then MsgBox "Box Checked" '< Type code to execute if box is checked.> Else MsgBox "Box is Not Checked" '< Type code to execute if box is not checked.> End If End Sub

NOTE: When using the Result property with the check box, the value returned is a "1" for True and a "0" for False. x = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").Result MsgBox x

As an alternative to the above example code, you can use the Value property to check the result. The following code example uses the Value property: If ActiveDocument.FormFields("check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then MsgBox "Box Checked" Else MsgBox "Box is Not Checked" End If
