I have a problem with forms when protecting and unprotecting the
document. The document with the form is protected (with a password
for forms). The employees have to fill in some of the fields (made
with the text form field). An other person has to open and unprotect
the document in order to fill in some other fields (not text form
fields) and protect the document again. During that process all the
data disappear. How can I solve that problem? The mentioned document
is made and operated in Office 2000 SR-1 professional. I had a
similar problem in Office XP but here noticed that the text only
disappeared when the document was protected and unprotected by using
Tools, protect document. If I did the same by using the Forms toolbar
and the protect and unprotect icon the text did not disappear.
