Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am sorry it has taken me so long to
get back to you, got sidetracked a little. Is there any way I can get an
example of the script that requires a special-user password? I appreciate
the help!

I am attempting to create an "online form" by setting up a protected template
with text fields. A handful of these fields will only be used by one person,
while the rest will be filled in by many. Is there any way to protect those
fields to be filled in by the one user separately. In other words I will
protect the template with one password, but was hoping that just this one
user could access certain fields (possibly with a different password) within
the form, without knowing the password for the entire document. I am using
Word 2003 and have looked at Diane's series, but could not find any info on
this.

There isn't anything built-in. I haven't tried this, but it ought to
work: Create a macro that asks for the special-user password and, if
it isn't correct, moves the cursor to the first non-special field.
Then set this as the entry macro for each of the special fields.

With this simple scheme, the special user would have to enter the
password for each special field, but that wouldn't be too hard if they
copied the password to the clipboard and used Ctrl+V to paste it into
each popup.

With some more macro logic, the special password would need to be
entered only once. I haven't really thought that part through yet.
