I have created a document with some control boxes in it. However, when I
reopen the file, it opens in Design Mode and I need to put it off so as to
work on the control boxes. how can I open the file in run mode? In Office
2000, this problems does not exist; this happens only with Office 2003
package.

Balan:

Do you mean ActiveX controls or formfields?

For ActiveX controls, it's possible that a related macro or userform was
left in design mode in the VBE. Try this code to see if any are.

Public Sub CloseDesignWindows()
Dim k As Long
With ActiveDocument.VBProject
For k = 1 To .VBComponents.Count
With .VBComponents(k)
If .HasOpenDesigner Then
MsgBox "Found in: " & .Name
.DesignerWindow.Close
End If
End With
Next
End With
End Sub

Dear Bear,
Thank you for your response.
Actually this is a check box from the control box tool bar. It is still
opening in the design mode only. This problem does not exist in Office 200
package. I have experienced this only in Office 2003 package. please help
me if you can.
Thanks
Balan

Hi Balan (& Bear),

With Word 2003 I think you get that effect if your macro security level
(Tools>Macro>Security) is set to High.

Regards.
