Change Save Location after opening Read-Only File

[brittonsm]

I have made a document that I have changed the attributes to be
Read-Only as well as locking down the document with password protection
as a form. What I am trying to accomplish is having this document
opened by a user (or uploaded in our CAD software then opened) make
some changes and then save the file to a new location.

The probelm I am having is that on the Userform that load on start-up,
the user fills it out and hits OK, then it embeds a document and fills
out a bunch of fields on both the word file and embedded excel file.
Then it get to the line:

ActiveDocument.Save

I get the standard dialog box and create a new file, this file saves in
that location, but then I get a Run-Time Error '5155' saying the
ORIGINAL file is read-only and if I debug the code it takes me to the
ActiveDocument.Save line.

Help?

Use a template.

To reiterate what Jezebel said:

Use a template. Then the user does File > New and picks your template for a
new document. They would have to work very hard to save over the top of the
template!

You are using a hammer when you need a wrench. You are asking us how to make
a better wrench out of the hammer. Use the wrench!
