MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2007How do I run a macro exiting a field while the form is protected .
Word 2003 My macros do not work when triggered by exiting a field while my form is protected. It depends what the macro does whether it will work or not. Some functions are only available when the form is unlocked, so your code needs to unlock and relock the form eg Dim bProtected As Boolean 'Unprotect the file If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then bProtected = True ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="" End If 'do your stuff 'Reprotect the document. If bProtected = True Then ActiveDocument.Protect _ Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="" End If  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Word 2003 > My macros do not work when triggered by exiting a field while my form > is protected.

You are welcome :) Note that if the form is password protected you will have to supply the password between the quotes at both places. The macro as written assumes no password.
