cannot click on check box CAPTGNVR 11/16/2008 10:36:00 AM Dear All I have two pages of an evaluation report with check boxes to mark. I went thro the forums and managed to use onscreen check boxes. Check boxes in page1 works fine. But the problem I am facing is the check boxes do not work in page 2 but the text boxes work in page 2. Actually I changed all the forms to make it user friendly and now in a mess. :( Since I am in a hurry to fill up the form for about 50 staff, Would appreciate a quick response.

Re: cannot click on check box CAPTGNVR 11/16/2008 10:53:01 AM D\Graham Yes they are check box form fields. I copied from the first page and pasted all check boxes where I needed it. I did put sections but when I go to protect the document to release these sections I do not get the options. So where to go and release these sections from being protected. Thnks for the response and I was just waiting for response and wl continue to watch for your guidance.
