I have inserted a drop-down list form field to a document that contains
hyperlinks to other documents on our network. This document has read only
access for our staff. If I unlock the document to deactivate the
drop-down
list, the hyperlinks work. As soon as the document is locked, the
hyperlinks
don't work.

Can I format the hyperlink or field differently? Is it a question of
security? Your help is appreciated.
