Thanks Graham! I assumed that the default password would be assumed to be ""
if it wasn't explicitly mentioned.
I added your code and it works now. i really appreciate the help.

You will need to add the password if any between the quotes - then
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
'Run your code
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:=""
End If

Hi, I am using tcl with tcom to process some Word files, search for
keywords, etc. I need to run a macro to unlink some fields. How can
I run this macro and unprotect the document automagically if the
document is sent to me protected?
I can open the document and see the contents, but I cannot run
the macro.
Thanks for any help! This is the error I get:
tcom::handle0x01439F60
% $::doc Run Macro1
