Hi Xy,

Is it possible to lock just a piece of document?

If not: Is possible to put same extra password protected information of
document somewhere else?

This is only possible in Word 2003, which was just released this fall. To
find out how to do anything in VBA, use the macro recorder to get the
basic syntax you need.

You can put any information in a database of some sort, but anything you
put in a Word document 2002 and earlier you can't protect within the
document itself as an individual item. There is FORMS protection, but
1. This locks out quite a bit of functionality (which is why it's not
suitable for what you describe)
2. Except for header/footer information, the protection can be gotten
around quite easily.

Thank you Cindy

But the users have stil some copies of word 97 :-(
So I have suggested them only to encrypt data . I will use widows API
encryption functions.
(The data remain visible and editable)
