protect doc?

[js]

Hi,
if my doc is wdAllowOnlyFormFields, the .Add method will cause
DocumentBeforeClose event to fire, and won't let me open the doc,
how to fix this? thanks.

==============================================================
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") 'New Word.Application
Set oWordDocO = oWordApp.Documents.Add(Template:=filename,
NewTemplate:=True)

Do you really want to create a new template?

Use

Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") 'New Word.Application
Set oWordDocO = oWordApp.Documents.Add(Template:=filename,
NewTemplate:=False)

Thanks Doug,

Can you pls explain more about if NewTemplate:=True, or False what will
happen?

It is is set to "True" a new template is created based on the template that
is called by Template:=filename; if it is set to "False" a new document is
created based on that template. The latter is what you would normally do.

I am assuming that somewhere earlier in your code, the path and name of the
template are loaded into the variable "filename".

Thanks Doug,

How to get the form items value if the doc is protect?
I used strDoc = oWordDocO.Content, but I can't get the item values from
content property? Any ways? Please advice. Thanks again.

If the values that you want are in formfields, use the .Result property of
each formfield.

Thanks Doug,

where is the .Result property, is it for oWordDocO.Content?
How to get it?

 

[js]

Thanks for the help.

How to how where (the position of the form in original doc) to output the
formfields?

for example, oWordDocO.Content only return the text, is it only way just
append the formfields at the end of the content? I want to get the original
layout as well, oWordDocO.Content + formfields in they original position?
is it possible?
