I am creating a WORD doc based on info in an Access database. I need to
programatically with VBA create a checkbox in a specific position on the doc
and indicate it is checked. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this - but
days of searching has not produced code that represents this easily. Seeking
assistance!

Thank you.
 
Have you posted your question in a Word newsgroup? This newsgroup is for and
about Access, the database application that is part of Office.
 
Thank you for responding. Because the data I'm extracting is from Access via
VBA I felt this was the best place to put the message.
 
I have an Access database/form that produces a WORD doc based on a template
via VB code. Most of the coding revolves around setting existing checkbox
and other bookmark values. However, there are statements that need to be
placed on the document along with a non-existing checkbox based on the data
entered into an Access Form. I've found code which would indicate I need to
reference a range or last bookmark and somehow get to the place where the
checkbox needs to appear. New territory for me and I'm lookiing for guidance
from this group.
 
Ok, that was not clear in your earlier post. I am not that familiar with the
Word object model, so I can't be of much help. I would suggest you repost
your question like this:
