E-mail forms and Checkboxes

[Mert8462]

I have created a form in Word 2003 and i have added check boxes to it as
well. When I go to try to e-mail (not as an attachment) the check boxes
aren't there when the e-mail is received. Help Please! Very Frustrating!

As you have no control over the way in which the recipient views their
email, you should send the document as an attachment.

How should the recipient view the e-mail in order to see the check boxes?

They should be sent an attachment.

The information that is being sent we need to be completly secure and no
ability to edit. the document is locked but if u send it as an attachment
can't it be altered?

Once you give someone the document, in whatever format, you have lost
control over it.

But what makes you thing that sending it as the body of the email message
would make it secure? The reality is far from it. At least if you send it
as an attachment, you can protect it for forms and apply a password so that
the casual user would not be able to change it. Nothing however will stop
someone who is determined to change it.
