Text Form Fields with Protected Documents

D

Daniel Scott

I have put text form fields in a protected document. The
problem is that if those form fields are populated, and
then the document is unlocked, and then locked again, all
those text form fields go back to blank. Is there anyway
to tell the document or form field that once populated not
to erase upon locking and unlocking the document??

Hi Daniel,

You will have to use a macro to reapply the protection to the document.

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps
