Our office needs a form with ActiveX controls (check boxes and one drop-down
list) to notify clients by e-mail. The form is "read only" for the client who
receives it by email. The ActiveX controls create security havoc, even though
they no longer need to be "active" when they arrive at their destination. How
do we preserve the content of the controls (a checked box or the single
chosen item on the drop-down list) and "deactivate" the controls to keep
security happy?

Write a macro which is executed before you mail the document which reads the
value from the active-X controls and replaces them with simple controls
which look similar (e.g an input box instead of a dropdown list, a simple
checkbox....) and give them the value you read before.
