Re: Unprotect and Protect template when user enters a Formfield

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

An onexit macro is activated when the user leaves a formfield in a protected
form. Problem is, when you user exits, the form is not protected. You are
going to have to do something more elaborate.

Hi All,

I ran into another 'problem' with a protected template. I want the
protection switched off when a users tabs to a formfield (in my example
Description) so the user can change the style and the font of this
Formfield.
After that, when he goes to the next formfield the protection should be
switched on again.
I have tried it with 2 macro's (and in the formfield switched the option
Run
Marco on Entry and Exit)

Macro 1= ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="password"

This works fine!

Marco 2 (on Exit)
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True_
Password = "password"

The second macro doesn't work anymore. So the protection stays off when
the
user leaves this Formfield. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Frank
