Hello

I am desperately trying to code a word document, but cant get it to work.

I need a tabel to show when a check a certain checkbox.



I am using a bookmark for the tabel.

The checkbox is named "LPja" and the tabel bookmark i named "TabelLP"

I have tryed a number og codes but keep getting error 5941.

What code can I use to get this to work?

I have Office 365, but cant select that.

Thanks in advance.

Post your code and we can offer suggestions on how to fix it. Also it helps if you attach a cut down version of your doc which has the checkbox, bookmark and table.

I have tryed a lot. This is the one I am working with right now. It is giving me error 5941.

Private Sub LPja_Click()
If ActiveDocument.FormFields("LPja").CheckBox.Value = True Then
' Vis tabellen
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("TabelLP").Range.Font.Hid den = False
Else
' Skjul tabellen
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("TabelLP").Range.Font.Hid den = True
End If
End Sub

I have attached the file, i hope

This would really be better if you were using Content Controls. I think you should either:
1. Change to content controls or
2. Change your checkboxes to option buttons

The only benefit of using legacy fields over Content Controls is the availability of legacy Option buttons and the ability to group them so only one can be turned on at a time. You are trying to replicate that built-in functionality with code because you chose a checkbox instead of an option button.

But doing it with the legacy checkbox field, for that macro you just need a single line

Thank you.

I need the option to group and only check one at the time aswell.

I have tryed your macro, but it dos not hide the tabel.

What am I doing wrong? I am putting the macro in to the checkbox, but the tabel stays visible weather or not it is checked.

Setting it up is not a walk in the sun (and there is a minor irritant), but the attached document shows and explains a method to do this with mapped content controls and a customXMLPart event monitor.


If anyone looks at this, I would be interested if any other approach to resolve Microsoft's negligence in resolving the long standing issues with the events. There is no (known) logical explanation why the DocumentCCExit event does not fire when when a user moves the mouse from a CC to check or uncheck another CC.
