Hi JamesR

Would the following help?
How to change the behaviour of Word's document protection, so users'
formfields don't get reset when they unprotect and reprotect

Hope this helps.

I am using Word 2000. My macro capability currently is limited to the macro
recording feature. I have a protected form that includes a table. One
column
needs to be summed. My macro to sum the column works fine, until I turn
protection back on.
When I attempt to record the macro again and Turn OFF protection, the
macro
recording is stopped.
Can this onle be accomplished with teh VBA or VBScript method of writing a
macro? Or is there a way to record this process?
