Cannot fill in form fields upon reopening the file after protectio

I have created a form in Word 2003 using textboxes and check boxes. I
protected the form allowing "Filling in forms" in the Editing Restrictions.
Straight after protecting the form I can use it as desired (i.e. type in text
and tick check boxes) but once I close down Word and then try to reopen the
form I cannot do anything. If I doubleclick on any of the fields it opens up
VBA for the code.

All fields have been enabled, unlocked etc...for the life of me I cannot
find what the problem is. I have search online and according to various
guides etc I am doing everything correctly.

If anyone has any advice on what I am missing that would be great! I'm sure
its something simple.....
