Default Outlook form-texbox field

Yes, you were definitely right about that one. Well the text boxes and
cheklist works now, theres is one other thing I would like to do:

The form asks if all required documents are submitted and provides Yes and
No check boxes for the user to fill. The way it is set up right now is that
the user can accidentally or intentionally check both boxes. I would like the
user to be able to only check one of the boxes, either Yes or No. Any
suggestions on how I could do this? Thanks a lot for all your help. I really
appreciate it

Sounds like you have not told Outlook what properties to use to write and read the data that the user is entering. Do this on the Properties dialog of each control, at the top of the Value tab, adding new fields as needed.

I have created an outlook form with a tab that acts as a checklist to let the
reciever of the form know what has been sent using the form. The form
contains a few check boxes to indicate these are the documents that are sent
and a text box next to each where the user can type in the name of the file.
The problem I am having is that I can check the boxes and write stuff in the
text box, but when the form is sent the reciever doesnt see anything checked,
nor does he/she see anything written in the text box. I am guessing the boxes
arent enabled. Could someone please help me with what properties i need to
change to get this to work. Thanks a lot
