My excitement jumped the gun. I forgot to mention that the document is
password protected. As such, when it gets to the "ActiveDocument.Unprotect"
line, it chokes. I tried putting in the password as the string is indicated
to be written (see below), but the Debugger doesn't like that either. What
am I missing? What am I doing wrong?
ActiveDocument.Unprotect(password)

Else

Is it possible -- and how do I do it -- to write a macro that a text
input field will run to temporarily unlock a locked Word 2007 form?
I wrote one that will lock the document that will run "On exit" from
a field, but no matter how I phrase it I can't get a macro to unlock
the doc.
