Check box question
I made up a form template using tables and check boxes. But I'm having trouble getting the form into useable shape. If I "lock" the form when I am finished when I open a new document using the template I can enter text just fine but I can't check any boxes. To do that I have to unlock the form, check the appropriate box, and then lock it down again. BUt the oint of the form is to have a handy way to enter text AND check the boxes. Any suggestions?

Where did you get the check boxes from? If it was the Control Toolbox toolbar, that's the wrong place. You need to use the ones from the Forms toolbar to work with a protected form. If you are using both text form fields and check boxes from the Forms toolbar, and one kind works but the other doesn't, then there's something corrupted in your template. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Registry question
Hello Group, I have an application that saves some configuration data in the registry system (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MyApp\ConfData) of the currently logged on user. This way, every user who runs this app will have his own configuration data. When a user runs for the first time this app, the 'MyApp' registry key will be created along with all its subkeys. Now suppose we have 3 users and all of them have already used the app. We will then have the 'MyApp' subtree created for these 3 users.

data from a modeless dialog box to its parent
I need to post a text data from a modeless dialog box to its parent which is itself a dialog based application. Since it should be a large text data a simple Windows message won't be good. What is the right way to do that? Thanks Gil If you are sure the data will stay current you can post the address of the data (as a pointer) in a windows message to the parent. If you want to be really sure use SendMessage() which will wait until the parent gets the message before returning. You could call a function or copy the data to a variable in the parent dialog, but that could be dang...

Question about Status Reason field
I am looking into what the Status Reason field is used for in relation to the Account object. There are two default values, Active and Inactive. I want to add values so that when an Account is inactive, we can state the reason that is inactive. I can add values to the Inactive state without a problem, but then how do I choose any of the values that I defined since when an account is Inactive, I cannot edit any of the fields? I can define a default value, but that again is of no use, because I can't change it. This seems to be a bug or oversight on the part of the CRM developers. You nee...

"Find a contact box" problem
