Hello - I'm trying to import field values from Access into a Word form (2010) - and I've gotten most of it to work by mapping the form fields to results in VBA, but I need help with one problem.

I have check boxes in my Access form/table. I need to have those values populate check boxes in my Word form, or if there's no way to do that, to use some sort of conditional statement to populate a .formfield result with a combination of the fields that are checked. Are either of these possible?
