The address insertion is working well, until I proctect the form. 
Then I get a Run-time error 4605:
This method or property is not available because the object refers to
a protected area of the document.

I've tested it with sections, but that screws up the formatting.  Is
there any way to make it work with the document protected?  I can put
a copy of the template om my server if that will help you.

The original article I pointed you at covers this. Here it is again:

Using {MacroButton} fields to insert information from the Outlook
Address Book into documents such as letters
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/InsertAdrsWMacroFld.htm  

Look at the section near the bottom. It shows how to unprotect the
document before you start, then reprotect it.

So you'd do something like:

ActiveDocument.Unprotect
... Do everything
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True


- Hammer
