Hi,

I have a form containing a table. This form needs to be locked, but
part of the information is to be entered in rows of the table.

Problem is: I don't know at first how many rows will be needed each
time the form is filled.

So how can I add tables rows when filling in a locked form?

Thanks in advance.

Raphael

There is no easy way to manage the addition and deletion of rows in a
protected section - I know from experience, it involves pretty convoluted
VBA programming. A simple alternative is to bound your table with section
breaks, then Tools>Protect Document>Forms>Sections and uncheck the section
with your table in it. When you apply forms protection, that section will
be unprotected so the user can add and delete rows in the normal way.

Regards,
Chad
