Once again I’m in over my head. With some help, I’ve written a macro to automatically increment a form number in a Word 97 template. The numbering works fine. What isn’t working is the protection. I protected the template using the Tools – Protect Document option. When I open the template, it is protected. When I open a document based on the template, the document is not protected. Since this is a form, I need the protection activated so the users can only enter information into the form fields.
Can anyone tell me the coding that I’d use withing my macro to protect the document (no password) and if the protection should go before or after the incremental numbering code in the macro?
