I am using a data base program (ACT!) that will insert the name and address
when the form is opened. If I protect the form, the data will give me an
error that the forma is protect and therefore will not open. I would like
someone to help me in VB to protect this form once is opened or a macro
that would protect the form on "Entry". Thanks for your time.

Use the commands

ActiveDocument.Unprotect

and

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

to unprotect and re-protect the document.
