Runtime Error 4605: This method or property is not available...

.... because the object refers to a protected area of the document.

I am getting this error when I am trying to use macros within a form.
Basically what I am doing is using a series of check boxes within a protected
form. When the user checks a box, I want other information to appear in an
unprotected section of the form. But instead when the box is checked by the
user, they get the VB error stated above. Any ideas would be most appreciated!

Your code would help, as would information on how it's called. Also, are you
absolutely positive that you're writing into an unprotected section?

If all else fails, try modifying your code to unprotect the document first,
write the desired content, and then re-protect it. It'll be safe enough
because VBA will have control of Word while the code is running, so there's
no risk of anyone touching the protected bits while it's (temporarily)
unprotected.
