Insert file in formfield in Word

[Lynn]

I'm trying to insert a file into a form at a bookmarked location. It works when the form is not protected, but doesn't when the form is. So how would I insert a file into a protected form. I also tried to use a formfield, but it doesn't work either. It is inserted half way through the form, so using unprotect is not an option that I know of

Sub CourseType(
Dim vCourseType As Strin
Dim vGoal2 As Strin
Dim CoType As FormFiel
Dim CoTypeGoal1 As Bookmar
Dim CoTypeGoal2 As FormFiel


vCourseType = InputBox("Please choose the type of course:" & Chr(13) & "1 - General Education" & Chr(13) & "2 - Vocational" & Chr(13) & "3 - Both", "Course Type"

Select Case vCourseTyp
Case "
MsgBox "You did not enter a value, please try again", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Blank Entry
CourseTyp
Case "0
MsgBox "The number 0 is not a valid entry, please try again", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Invalid Number
CourseTyp
Case "1
ActiveDocument.FormFields("CoType").Result = "general education
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("CoTypeGoal1").Range.InsertFile ("E:\Lynn\files for template\Gen Ed Goal Areas.doc"

Case "2
ActiveDocument.FormFields("CoType").Result = "vocational
<the rest is snipped

In Case "1", second line is the problem. Thank you in advance for your help

Hi Lynn

You have to unprotect the document, do your updates and then reprotect your
document:

ActiveDocument.Unprotect

insert your file here using a bookmark not a FormField, otherwise you could
end up overwriting the FormField.

ActiveDocument.protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields,True

HTH + Cheers - Peter
