What you're doing isn't quite clear - too little information. Are you talking about locking the document that results from the mail merge? Or something else?

me please. I just need some1 to help me to prevent users from editing the word document only. Keeping in mind that what Graham says is quite true... You can provide protection against *accidental* changes by activating FORMS protection (Tools/Protect document) with a password. In Word 97 there is NO protection that is securer - and this is NOT very secure.
