Macros and Protecting Forms
For some reason, when I add macros to one of my forms, I lose the ability to
protect the form (the lock toolbar button). any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong? -- Thanks, Gina |

Macros and Protecting Forms
There are several macros which deal with check boxes. I have included one of
the macros below: Set vinterim = ActiveDocument.FormFields("interim").CheckBox Set vfinal = ActiveDocument.FormFields("final").CheckBox Set vreopen = ActiveDocument.FormFields("reopen").CheckBox If vinterim.Value = True Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("payer").Select End If If vfinal.Value = True Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("payer").Select End If If vreopen.Value = True Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("payer").Select End If I have been able to again protect my document, but now I get a message which indicates that 'macros in this project have been disabled'. -- Thanks, Gina "Beth Melton" wrote: What does the macro do?

Macros and Protecting Forms
Is the selected bookmark a form text field? You can only select areas that a
user can edit in a protected form. The message that macros in this project have been disabled indicates that: 1) Your macro security level is set to high, _and_ 2) You do not have a signed vba certificate, _and_ 3) Your macros are not stored in an installed template or Add-In, or you have not checked the security option to allow macros in installed templates and Add-Ins to run. Start by changing your security level to medium (not low).
