I'm ok with that. If it does happen, it can be locked again by clicking on
the padlock (Forms toolbar), and just won't be password protected, right?
I'd just love for it to be as user friendly as possible, and the dialogue box
would help immensely. (I would just need to know -- would it clear all the
fields as it does when you unprotect the doc now? Best if not, but I'd take
it regardless.)

Thanks for all your help on this!

Hi ?B?TGF1cmE=?=,

This may be shooting the moon, but
is it possible to write the code to open the Edit/Links dialogue box that
disappears when it's locked?

Only by unprotecting the entire document. The dialog box is locked out
completely as long as the document is protected. The macro could do that;
question is, do you want to take the chance that the macro might fail and
leave the document unlocked?
