Getting access to it is simple enough - change the file's extension to .zip then open the file as a zip archive. In there is a file named 'document.xml' and the error is located somewhere in that file. You'll need an application like Notepad++ to examine the xml structure. Beyond that, though, I really don't know enough about xml coding to give much advice, other than to say the problem is usually the result of a missing end-tag of one kind or another.

Hi Mate,

I extracted the document.xml code and ran it through an xml checker and no errors were found.

I also opened a damaged document and ran that code through the checker and everything came back fine.

Not sure why this issue is still present.

If I were to incorporate the use of content check box as you describe above, how would I go about coding it? The check boxes do not contain any events, so how would the code need to be written?

Can it perform similar functions such as an active x control?

Are there any resources you can point me in so I could look up how code can be written with such controls?

Thanks

If you're checking a document that isn't returning the error, that's not surprising.
At a guess, it seems the document might be corrupting upon opening - which suggests the Office installation on that PC might need repairing. As I said, though, it's just a guess.
If the existing checkboxes don't trigger any code, there's nothing to change in that regard by switching over to content control checkboxes. That said, I'd still be inclined to replace the

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your response.

I've started to amend the template by removing all the the activex controls.

In the event i would like to add CC Checkboxes (Yes/No), how would i code it that if one CC checkbox is selected the other is disabled and vice versa?

Thanks
