SYMPTOMS
After you save and close a protected Word form document to which you added a Control Toolbox control, you may not be able to unprotect the document when you reopen it.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when Macro Protection is enabled, and you choose Disable Macros when the form document is open in Microsoft Word.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, choose the Enable Macros option for the form document when the document is open, instead of the Disable Macros option. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the File menu, click Close to close the protected document that contains the Control Toolbox control.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Open to open the protected document again.
 * 3) In the Macro Warning dialog box, choose Enable Marcros for the form document.
 * 4) On the Tools menu, you can now select Unprotect Document.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
