2003 document protection error when opened in 2002

[aehan]

I have protected a document programatically in Word 2003, protected for
forms.

ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="pass", noreset:=True, Type:= _
wdAllowOnlyFormFields, UseIRM:=False, EnforceStyleLock:=False

The code "UseIRM:=False" fails when someone tries to open the document from
Word 2002. Is there a work around this so that previous versions can open
it, or can that statement safely be left out of the code?

Thanks
Aehan

This can be worked around, but as you're not trying to use IRM, the
parameter can be safely left out of the code.
