wdDialogToolsUnprotectDocument and Word 2003

[Jeroen ter Hofstede]

I'm trying to create a macro to have the user lift the protection on a
document. The (simplified) code looks like this:

With Application.Dialogs (wdDialogToolsUnprotectDocument)
.Show
End With

This works nicely in Word 2000, asking the user for a password if
appropriate, and removing the protection. However, when I run this in
Word 2003, it refuses to show a dialog and bluntly states "the password
was incorrect."

Any ideas what causes this, and how it can be improved?


Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

ActiveDocument.Unprotect

with that code, it will ask the password when there is one

No, unfortunately, it will not. I get the same error. It wouldn't
suffice for my needs, either, as I want to extract the password in
order to re-protect the document later on.

Thanks anyway...
