When my user tries to insert a Microsoft Forms 2.0 Checkbox, she gets the
following error ( An error (1440) occurred during the action Insert Control).
She is using Visio 2003 STD. Now I read kb826411, and it says there's no FIX.

Has anybody managed to fix this problem?

Thanks

Bobby

What is the user trying to insert the control into? It should (and
does - I've tried it) insert into a normal page).

in a normal ou a existing document, she does a insert\control and chooses
Microsoft Forms 2.0 Checkbox, that's when she gets the error.

The article you reference describes an issue when trying to insert the
Visio ActiveX drawing control into a drawing, which is not supported. I am
not aware of it ever occuring when inserting a Forms 2.0 Checkbox or other
simple controls into a drawing.

I would have her check again to ensure the number of the error is recorded
correctly. Then, ask her to check with a new blank drawing - in case there
is simply something wrong with the Forms controls, perhaps. If the control
still can't be inserted in a clean drawing, have her launch Word or Excel
and try to insert the same control.

If the insertion of the Checkbox control works in a clean drawing, but not
in her original drawing, then it may be something specific about the
drawing itself.
