Word 2003 vs XP read only option

[Starbird]

I have the following code that works fine in Word 2003 but gives an error if
a user in using Office XP. How can I make it protect for read only in XP as
well?

ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="test", noreset:=True,
Type:=wdAllowOnlyReading

Thanks in advance for any help!

Without knowing what error message (exactly!) is occurring, it's impossible to
even begin guessing...

XP doesn't protect for 'OnlyReading', I had to use a protection that was
available in both versions such as 'OnlyComments' or have it check for the
version before running the protection code. Took awhile for me to figure
out, but I found the solution already.
Thanks anyway.
