Hello everyone

I'm having a problem with some code.  I have created a template in Word 2003
which includes text that may be edited in the template only.  The document
created from it is fully protected allowing no edits.  I have created a
message box in the This Document module of the template as follows:

Sub AutoOpen()

   Dim Response As String
   Response = msgbox("Do you want to open the template to edit it? If so,
press Yes." _
   & vbCrLf & "To open a document based on the template press No." _
   & vbCrLf & "To exit without opening either, press Cancel", vbYesNoCancel
+ vbDefaultButton2)
   
   If Response = vbYes Then
       ThisDocument.Activate
       CommandBars("Colours").Visible = True
   ElseIf Response = vbNo Then
       ThisDocument.Close
       Documents.Add Template:= _
       "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\Test Data\Test Template.dot" _
       , NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
   ElseIf Response = vbCancel Then ThisDocument.Close
   End If
   
End Sub

I have written an AutoNew macro in a module in the same project as below:

Sub AutoNew()
' Protect Document
   
   ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="secret", NoReset:=False, Type:= _
       wdAllowOnlyFormFields, UseIRM:=False, EnforceStyleLock:=False
   CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = False
   CommandBars("Colours").Visible = False
End Sub

Everything appears to work perfectly, except that when a protected document
based on the template is re-opened the message box is displayed!  Help!  What
have I done wrong?  Any help would be gratefully received.  I've spent a lot
of time trying to work it out and looking through the help group, but
couldn't find an answer.

Thank you all
