How can I create an expandable table in a protected form?
I want to create a protected form for users to fill out, and I need the users
to be able to add/delete rows to a table without unprotecting the form. Can anyone tell me how to do this? |

How can I create an expandable table in a protected form?
The easiest solution is to place the table in an unprotected section of the
form; then users can add rows as they would in an unprotected table. Note, however, that they will also be able to edit the table, which may not be what you want. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dgliver" wrote in message ...

How can I create an expandable table in a protected form?
Stefan,
Thank you for your reply. I did think of that, but unfortunately I do need the table to be protected also. My feeling is the functionality I want is only possible by writing a macro, and I don't know VB. Any other ideas would be welcome!

I suspect that you are right: a macro is needed. I believe a common
workaround is to have a macro unprotect the form, make the desired changes, and then reprotect it, but you should ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general for more knowledgeable assistance. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dgliver" wrote in message ...
