Office 2003 Pro SP2; XP Pro SP2

I have a form that I cannot unprotect. I go to Tools, Options, Unprotect
Form, and every option fills in except for the Protect Document icon (lock).
So I cannot unprotect this form. I have many documents saved using this
form. It opens correctly on another computer with the same setup. I have
reinstalled Office and the SP. Still cannot unprotect the form. The PC with
the problem is a brand new install. Please advise.
 
If it's a form, try using the Forms toolbar and clicking on the lock icon to
unprotect your document.
 
Sorry. I guess I should have clarified a little more. After I go to tools,
options, unportect document, the lock icon on the Forms toolbar is still
grayed out. Even though all other options are available.
 
If you used any controls from the Control Toolbox, see "WD2002: Can't
Unprotect Protected Form That Contains a Control Toolbox Control" at
