Button won't work in protected form

[Greg]

How can I get a button to work in a protected form. I've
looked at this example and can see it works fine:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/HidePrintButton.h
tm

but my form has several fields in it with a button at the
end. when the button is clicked word doesn't run the
macro, it just skips to the top of the document. I've
tried using section breaks to deprotect the second half of
the form but this doesn't work at all for some reason.

Any ideas please? Thanks.

Hi Greg,

You want to use a MACROBUTTON field to run a macro in a
protected form. Look this up in Word's help, to get started.

You can set Options.ButtonFieldClicks = 1 so that the field
will react to a single, rather than double click.
