how to turn off desing mode

Guest

Hallo

I was using desing mode and inserted check box.
How to do for other users, that they can open my document, an switch mode
would be turn off. And they don't need to go to macros, setting the security
level from high to another.

I just need that users could only fill in my check box, nothing else.

If you use the check box from the Control Toolbox (what you call "using
design mode"), you have absolutely no control over whether other users will
see design mode or not. If they have disabled macros with a high security
level, the document *will* open in design mode every time. There is nothing
you can do to stop that.

The solution is to use any of several other kinds of check boxes -- a Forms
check box in a protected form, a MacroButton field, or a userform. Here are
some references to look at:
