Run-Time error when calling Macro from form field

[Michael Islip]

Hi

First, excuse me if this a really obvious problem, I'm not
too hot at VBA...

I'm using Word 2002 on Windows 2000 and I'm trying to run
a macro when you click on a form element in a template.

The macro is fairly simple, it just displays the 'Insert
Picture' prompt to the user:

--
Sub ImageInsert()
Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture).Show
End Sub
--

It runs fine when you run it from within the document, but
I have it set to 'Run on Entry' for a text form field.
When you create a new document from this template and
click on the field I get the following error:

Run-time error '4605'
This command is not available

Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Michael

you can't insert a pic into a protected-for-forms section. Your macro
needs to unprotect, do the insert pic, re-protect with no reset.
