Check box values lost when emailing a form

I think I cross posted this to the wrong group yesterday, If you saw it please excuse the repost today - I still need answers and help with it.

I have a 'locked' forms created in WORD 2002. It contains some check box fileds. Everything works fine when the forms are filled out, printed, saved, recalled, etc.

BUT when anyone emails the form via Outlook 2002 the forms lose the chedk box values. All the filled in data mails correctly and the form is intact, BUT all of the
checkboxes blank out as if none where ever clicked on.

What needs to be done to retain the "checked or not checked" values of checkboxes when emailing a filled out form? Again all other fileds retain correctly.

Thank you, Dave Jung, Pasco County Government, Fla.

the link to outlook embedded in word on the toolbar.This won't work. There's a conversion between Word and Outlook (Word binary doc format to
HTML). These controls are only valid in Word's document format; they don't get converted
correctly to HTML. The users need to send the documents as attachments in order to retain
the form fields.
