How lock some fields in Word Form

[Patricio Hidalgo]

Hi,

I designed a form with some fields and when press a button to sign the
document I need locked these fields with information. Can I do that in word
with VBA?

Thanks a lot for the helpful

Hi Patricio,

You do this with code like:
Sub LockFmFlds()
Dim oFmFld As FormField
With ActiveDocument
For Each oFmFld In .FormFields
If oFmFld.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput Then oFmFld.Enabled = False
Next
End With
End Sub

The above code locks all text formfields. If you want to lock a specific formfield, you could usecode like:

Sub LockOneFld()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Enabled = False
End Sub
where "Text1" is the bookmark name assigned to the formfield.
