macro doesn't work when I unprotect form
I have a text form field that runs a macro on entry.
This macro shows a userform, when you click on print, labels are supposed to print, based on a macro I've written with mail merge, etc. The macro works when the form is protected and I run it from Tools-Macro, but when I unprotect the form I can't run the macro. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Microsoft Word 2002. Thanks! |

By definition, an on-entry macro is not going to run in an unprotected
document because there is no "entry." The formfields are not active in an unprotected document. If your macro unprotects the document, trying to run it on an unprotected document may generate an errror. You might want to post your code in one of the vba newsgroups for help with it. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
