SendMail in Word 2007 with form protection not working

Word 2007

I have a button control. The code behind the button is
"activedocument.sendmail".

When I have this button in conjunction with a form, and I have protected the
document for "filling in forms", the email button quits working and I can't
do anything else in the document.

This all worked ok in Word 2003.

It may work once or twice when first creating the document, but after I exit
and come back in, I can click on the button and nothing happens. Then I
cannot type in the form fields in the document. I cannot get to visual basic
or to design mode. If I remove protection from the document, sometimes two
buttons show up on the screen, but I cannot change anything on them or do
anything with them.

Originally I brought in a document from Word 2003 that was working
correctly, into Word 2007 and made some modifications to the form. That is
when I first noticed the problem. Then I tried creating a new document, added
a couple of form fields to the document along with an "email button",
protected it for filling in forms and I am having the same problems occur.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Another note on this problem - It is happening in Word 2007 but I am saving
the document as .doc (97-2003)
