Re: Problem protecting document from vb (office 2007 sp2)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Fortunately, you can uninstall SP2 where it has already been installed -- this
is the first Office SP package that's able to do that.

I can't say now whether there will be a fix, soon or ever (I'm not a Microsoft
employee, and even they may not know yet). If and when there is one, though, it
will most likely be offered as a "hotfix". A KnowledgeBase article will be
posted that explains how to get the hotfix package; usually you have to contact
Product Support and specifically request access to the download location. You
can subscribe to http://kbalertz.com and sign up for just the Word articles to
keep watch for the one you want.

saving the documents as .doc documents will require me to update the entire
program, not a real option to me.

Not installing SP2 is the best option for me now, do you think that there will
be a fix soon? And how can I obtain the fix if it exists?

Thank you.

A similar SP2 bug was reported in the thread "Password error from Word 2003
to Word 2007" that was started three days ago by Lorenz Hölscher. The MVPs
have confirmed it's a bug and reported it to Microsoft.

It appears the only workaround for now may be to save the document in Word
97-2003 (*.doc) format.

Hello,

I have the following problem:
I developed a program, that saves Word documents formfield-protected
on the disk, but since installing sp2 of office 2007, I can no longer
unprotect documents that are protected while using sp2.

Steps to reproduce this:
open a vb program and paste the following code to be executed:

Dim oApp As New Word.Application

oApp.Documents.Add
oApp.Selection.TypeText "hallo"

oApp.ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, False, "a",
False, True

oApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\a.docx"

oApp.Quit

Then close your program and then open it in Word, then try to
unprotect it, it will
allways say : invalid password.

Does anyone have a tip/suggestion how to overcome this bug?

Thank you
