How can I create an expandable table in a protected form? dgliver 12/15/2008 11:43:01 PM I want to create a protected form for users to fill out, and I need the users to be able to add/delete rows to a table without unprotecting the form. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

"Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 12/18/2008 10:22:54 AM The easiest solution is to place the table in an unprotected section of the form; then users can add rows as they would in an unprotected table. Note, however, that they will also be able to edit the table, which may not be what you want. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dgliver" <dgliver[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:79F4C236-3C72-456C-BCC7-E00E001FEFE8[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: How can I create an expandable table in a protected form? dgliver 12/18/2008 7:28:11 PM Stefan, Thank you for your reply. I did think of that, but unfortunately I do need the table to be protected also. My feeling is the functionality I want is only possible by writing a macro, and I don't know VB. Any other ideas would be welcome!

Re: How can I create an expandable table in a protected form? "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 12/22/2008 10:57:21 AM I suspect that you are right: a macro is needed. I believe a common workaround is to have a macro unprotect the form, make the desired changes, and then reprotect it, but you should ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general for more knowledgeable assistance. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dgliver" <dgliver[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:13120ADC-4AE9-42CD-8C0F-46D1542D2E8B[ at ]microsoft.com...
