MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / February 2004Mail merge in a protected form?
I have a Transmittal Letter form that is protected to prevent users from altering it. Now I want to add mail merge fields from my Access database but mail merge doesn't work when the form is protected. Is there a way to get mail merge to work in a protected form? Thanks. No, you will have to remove the protection to execute a mailmerge. You can use the following code in a macro to do this ActiveDocument.Unprotect ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset  SignaturePlease 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 Doug Robbins - Word MVP >I have a Transmittal Letter form that is protected to > prevent users from altering it.
