This Problem may be more of a VBA problem, than a Word one ... ?
I want to create a Word form (sample file FormTest.doc) using - among others - two check boxes for "Yes" and "No" and a dropdown field containing various entries for selection in the case of "Yes". To prevent users selecting (or unselecting) both boxes I created macros (JaFlipflop and NeinFlipflop, FormMacros section in the .doc) so that selecting one box will unselect the other and vice versa. Worked so far.
Then I wanted to improve: if "No" is selected it makes no sense to select anything from the dropdown. So - in the of "No" - I want the first List item to show ("leer" meaning empty). Got that one easily. Then I wanted to disable the dropdown, so nothing else could be selected. The only way found is in FormMacros1, I tried all sorts of code, finally got there by recording a "GoTo". Works - mostly.
Trying to get fancy has me stumped: Should the user return to the "Yes" field, the dropdown should be enabled again. Doing the "Else" branch with ...enabled=True does not work, but gives an error. It looks like Word cannot find the disabled field!
What did I do wrong?
