put a section break either side of the form fields, and when protecting, you can choose to protect just the form section. &nbsp;Have the button outside the protected section and see if this works

I have created a document in Word 2007 professional that has fields that the user will enter in a a form format.<br />
I have added a command button and some code under a click() action.<br />
<br />
If the document is set for &quot;Allow for filling in forms&quot; &nbsp;under the protection tab and I have NOT pressed the &quot;Yes, Start Enforcing Protection&quot; button &nbsp;and I press the my form's command button, the click() action code executes.<br />
<br />
If I press the &quot;Yes, Start Enforcing Protection&quot; button and click the command button on my form, it depresses, but the click() action subroutine is not executed. If I press it about ten times in a row, the code finally executes.<br />
<br />
Take off the protection... and it works on every press.<br />
<br />
Any ideas would be helpful.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
