Our organization needs to have forms that staff can save
and edit on an ongoing basis..
I have created a form using both the Forms and the Visual
Basic Toolbars and saved it as a template. I used <Protect
Form> before saving. Visual Basic was used for its
appearance and entry features - not for any use with a
data base.
When I open the template as a document, enter some
information, save it as a word.doc, and reopen it later -
it will not allow me to add or edit any more information
to the sections created by Visual Basic. It will allow it
on the sections created by Form.
What do I have to do to enable me to continue to
edit/update a form as a word.doc?

Probably unprotect it as a form, which will also disable your form fields.
