Text form fields lose data after bookmark delete

External Since: Sep 07, 2008 Posts: 1

Hi there

I have developed a template which has text form fields, sections and
bookmarks. Additional functionality includes a toolbar from which the user
can delete some sections and bookmarks. Here is a sample pf the code;

Me.Unprotect "xxx"
Me.Bookmarks("manager").Range.Select
Me.Bookmarks("SectionFacility").Range.Delete
Me.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, , "xxx"

The relevant bookmark is successfully deleted but all the text form fields
lose the data previously entered. This is not the desired effect. Any advice?

Thanks in advance

Hi Russ,

You need to invoke NoReset when you re-protect the form:

Me.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="xxx"
