Re: Need help with enabling a check box and allowing changes

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Did you install the template as a global add-in, as instructed? If so, copying and pasting should not be required. Greg provides a link to his tutorial on "Installing and Using Global Addins." (Greg, note that "an" needs to be "and.")

Or, if you're using the provided VBA code instead, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for instructions on installing it.

yea, I did that too. I'm still can't get it to work. :-( I've tried copy
and pasting his "toggles" into my form and I can't get them to work. I'm not
"macro" savvy so maybe that's my problem? I really appreciate the help you
are giving me.
