Protecting Form Fields

I am creating a form which requires two users to complete different fields.
The second user is not to alter the data entered by the first user or edit
the document.

I have inserted sections and protected the form for the relevant sections...
this doesn't work as it allows the second user to edit the unprotected
sections.

Does anyone have a workaround?

No, I am using Word 2002... so does this mean that the document protection
features do not allow what I am trying to do?

Word 2002 protection features do not allow you to easily do what you
would like to accomplish.

You might be able to use VBA for this but that can be easily by-passed
and will not be implemented if the user's Macro Security is set to
High.

Can you help out with the VBA code syntax. I have written a macro that sets
the enabled property on a form field (dropdown) to false, but the same code
falls over with a text input.

Or should I post to the programming newsgroup?
