The only other thing I can think of to help is to add a screen tip to notify
users to right-click to open. If you right-click on the hyperlink before you protect you have an option to edit, in edit you may add a screen tip, so when your users hover over the hyperlink, they will see the tip "DW" wrote: Yes, but is there something I can do to just click as usual.

If the hyperlink _must_ be in a protected section of the form, then you have
to use the scheme described at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nksInForms.htm, which involves a MacroButton field and a macro. This scheme has a number of drawbacks, though: The macro must be in a template that's available to everyone using the form, which is often an unreasonable requirement; or the macro must be in the form document itself, which then causes Word to display the macro virus security warning when the document is opened, which scares off many users who don't know what macros are or whether yours is trustworthy. In some cases, the macro will be silently disabled, and the user just won't be able to use the hyperlink. The alternative is to place the hyperlink in an unprotected section of the form. Insert continuous section breaks before and after the hyperlink. When you protect the form through the Protect Document task pane (you can't do this with the lock icon on the Forms toolbar), after you choose to protect for forms, click the link below that dropdown and uncheck the section that contains the hyperlink. The minor drawback of this alternative is that users can add or change text in the unprotected section, delete the hyperlink, or do anything else Word allows. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
