Default Locked Forms and Macros impacted

I'm working on a document that has a Form at the top. After the Form I put in
a Continuous Section break and then used the Protect Document option to lock
that first section.

However, now, when I try to run one of the macros in the document, I'm
unable to see it - Macros is greyed out. The only way I can access them is
the VB Editor.

Is there a way I can lock that form and still have my macros run??

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Either assign the macros to the keyboard or to buttons on a toolbar.

Thanks heaps. Good to know an alternative.

This document links into a database so the macro needs to automatically run
.... back to the drawing board for me then!

Thanks again for your help though.

Cheers
