Mail merge in a protected form?

[jrh]

I have a Transmittal Letter form that is protected to
prevent users from altering it. Now I want to add mail
merge fields from my Access database but mail merge
doesn't work when the form is protected. Is there a way
to get mail merge to work in a protected form?
Thanks.

No, you will have to remove the protection to execute a mailmerge. You can
use the following code in a macro to do this

ActiveDocument.Unprotect
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset
