File Properties disabled when protecting section

[Derek]

I have a section of my document that only contins fields
that are in the File, Propeties. I want to protect this
section of the document so it is only updated by using
File, Properties. I created a section for these fields
and protected this section. However, now when I go to
File, Properties, I cannot change the value of any of the
fields. Is there a way around this? I thought of
writting a macro to temporarily unprotect and bring up the
File, Properties window, but I cannot find a way to bring
up the window through VBA.

You could use a userform to display/collect the information that you want to
appear in the fields.

If you want the File/Properties dialog box then use:
CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=750).Execute
