Hello everyone.
My office is currently creating and testing forms in Word for report
writing. One task I am not sure how to complete in Word forms using
VBA is to append the active document, and cause Word to open another
file within the active document as a new page.
In summary: User clicks on checkbox for "Property Page" on the main
forms page, thereby indicating the user needs to fill out a property
page for the case. By clicking on the checkbox, Word inserts a page
break at the end of the last page of the main forms document, and
places the Property Page document within the main forms page.
Can a checkbox be coded to insert page break, open and append a
document, and then be re-protected as a form?
I can post/email/send example forms if needed.
Thanks for all the help.

You could have a macro run on exit from the Checkbox formfield to evaluate
the value of the Checkbox and insert a file containing the property page at
the end of the document if it was relevant.
