Good morning,
I am working with Office 365, in particular Word version 1610 Build 7466.2038.

My Word document has a combination of ActiveX Combo Boxes and Check Boxes spread throughout. I'm having trouble though with the ActiveX controls, seemingly reverting to deign mode after macro has run - but according to the Toolbar, Design mode is definitely off. For example, one macro runs which populates a Combo Box with a list of customers, but then when I attempt to use the Combo Box, the drop down does not work but instead I can only select the control as if it were in Design mode i.e. the 8 grab handles appear. I then have to select DEVELOPER -> DESIGN MODE from the toolbar and toggle Design Mode on then off. My Combo Box then works.

This is all repeated however when I select my next ActiveX control.

I have stepped through my lines of code, but I can't understand why I have to keep toggling the Design Mode. Has anyone experienced this before?

Regards Corin.
