Protected form + InsertPicture
GoodDay,
I've created a protected form. I'd like 1 field to be an "insert image here" type thing. But once the form is protected.. you can no longer insert an image. I've tried using an InsertImage macro to no avial. Any Ideas? It is necessary that I prevent users from altering this form but they must be able to insert a picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Richard |

Protected form + InsertPicture
Mr. Freedman, you don't know how much I appreciate you creating this
masterpiece of a document that allows inserting a picture while the other sections of the document are protected against being altered. I see that the document has to be protected, unprotected and then protected again. That means there can't be any password applied when specifying protecting the forms. Is it possible for you to modify your document somewhat so that a specific password can be applied to the document and still have the insert picture feature work? The reason I am asking is because I don't want my users to "inadvertently" unprotect the entire document. Thank you.

The idea for the continuous section break is to unprotect that section where you want the image to be inserted and leave the other protected. Hennie I've created a protected form.

Protected form + InsertPicture
Hi Leonard,
If you downloaded the template before this past Sunday, go get a copy of the latest version. Then look at the code in the VBA editor. Among other things, I've included the password parameter as a comment in each .Protect and ..Unprotect statement. To use it, remove the single quote that makes it a comment and put your password between the quotes. (Hmm, now that I think of it, the password should be a string variable that's used in each of those places. Give me until tomorrow to do that, because I can't modify the web site from here.) If you're worried about users opening the code to see the password, you can password-protect the code itself. To do this, in the VBA editor, go to Tools Project Properties Protection. Check the "Lock project" box and enter the password twice (this can be the same as or different from the password for the form). Be sure to keep a record of the password or, better, keep a copy of the template without a code password -- if your only copy is protected and you lose the password, you're sunk. However, a user prying into the code to find the form password is more than just "inadvertent", so maybe you can dispense with the added hassle. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Leonard wrote: Mr. Freedman, you don't know how much I appreciate you creating this masterpiece of a document that allows inserting a picture while the other sections of the document are protected against being altered.

Protected form + InsertPicture
Mr. Jay Freedman, you're a genius!
OK, I just downloaded your latest Form_Picture.dot and I pressed Alt+F11 and then replaced all occurrences of "MyPassword" with my own password within the quotes. I then protected the VBA project module against being viewed and modified. Finally, I password protected the template for forms with my own password. It worked! No users can now intentionally try to unprotect the template. Thanks so very much!!
