With the help from this discussion group, I was able to create a MS
Word form with checkboxes that I can switch on and off without
protecting the form.  I created autotext entries for clear and checked
checkboxes and cut and pasted Visual Basic codes for them to
automatically swith by double clicking.  Everything works fine in my
template, except that it only works on my end.  It needs to be posted
online so that users download the form and fill them in.  However, the
checkboxes just don't work when the form is transferred to other
computers.  How can I make this form work on other computers?  Please
help!!!

You need to ensure that the VBA code is stored in the document. By default
it isn't. Take a look at these two articles which will help you understand
