You can certainly attach a document to an _email_, but "attaching a document to a document" could mean all sorts of things ... 0.2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Attach documents to forms
Hi Bob,
I defined a form "Customer Visit Report" to be used by Accountmanagers. Then I protected the Form - so the users can only fill in the "defined field". If the Accountmanagers wants to attach a excel sheet or another doc. - how can he attache this to the form or into a field. Cheers Gerd PS: MS Office Word 2003 "Robert M.

So far, so good: it's still not entirely clear what you expect to happen at the moment of "attaching", though. Say you have an normal Word document open. To include another Word document, one would usually use Insert | File ... and select the file. To include an Excel Sheet, maybe Insert | Object. All these steps are most probably forbidden in a protected form. That means you have to provide macro code which unprotects the form, let's the user do the stuff he couldn't do before, and afterwards reprotect the form again. In Word 2003, that should be it. In earlier versions you had to make explicitly sure that the form field contents are preserved during (un-)protection.
