When I was using 2003 I could lock and unlock forms to edit the information
without losing the data entered into the text and checkmark boxes. With 2007
everytime I unlock and relock the forms it wipes out the data in the text and
check mark boxes. How do I stop this from happening?
 
I believe that it will only do that if you access the Properties dialog of a
formfield while it is unprotected.

However, using the following code in a macro to re-apply the protection will
prevent it from happening

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

Hope this helps.
