Greetings,

Goal:

To fill out the document title in a text field box in a protected form then
run a macro to bring up the document properties and copy the text into the
document properties title field.

Problem:

The Document Properties are read only in VBA.
The Document Properties dialog (Word Basic.FileProperties) is read only when
opened in a protected form.
Opening the Document Propertites from an autoopen macro (Word
Basic.FileProperties) are read only.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I have almost given up.

Good Luck,

Bill Hughes

Run a macro on exit from the field that contains the following code:

With ActiveDocument
.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle) =
..FormFields("Title").Result
End With

Hope this helps.
