Making bookmark uneditable by user

[Rick]

I have a template that stores bookmark data in the custom
document properties. The user modifies this document.
Sometimes, the text in the bookmark must be edited. I've
created a toolbar button that will allow them to edit the
custom document property and then the bookmarks get
updated programmatically. However, the user can simply
type in the bookmark field and change the text. This is
undesireable since after the document is complete, some
data is checked for changes in a database and all
bookmarks are updated. If they simply change one directly
then it will be updated to the incorrect data (from
custom document properties). Is there a way to protect
bookmarks so they can only be changed using an update
command? Protecting the bookmarks from deletion is not
necessary.

Thanks

Continuous section breaks before and after protect that section as a
form.
