Default How do I mail merge within a protected form?

I am trying to create a form that will be protected. Within that form, I
need some fields to be mailmerged. For some reason, this will not happen.
Is there something I am missing?

No, the two features are mutually exclusive.

You will have to use some vba code to iterate through the data source,
creating a new document from a template and populating it with the data from
each record.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
