how to make a document password protected on closing

[dr.k]

Hello - I hope this is the right forum. I am not a programmer but think I need a programmer's help for this. I would like a Word form to be password protected upon closing. This is to allow a survey result to remain confidential until opened by the correct person. Security level doesn't need to be very high. Is there a macro that can do this? thanks.

At its simplest expression, put this code in the ThisDocument module:

'_______________________________________
Private Sub Document_Close()

ActiveDocument.Password = "123"

End Sub
'_______________________________________

Salut!
