E-mailing a password protected document with form fields

Hi,

When e-mailing a password protected document that has form fields, the
recipient can edit the document by selecting YES to merge changes (i.e. doc
loses its protection).

How can I ensure the doc. protection always remains intact when e-mailed?
(The doc. must always retain the same file name). Using Word ver 2002

Thank you in advance

There's nothing you can do about it. Protecting a form is just to make the
document work as a form; it's not a form of security. If the user can see
the document, they can do what they like with it. Making it read-only does
nothing.
