Default macro won't fire

I have a macro that re-protects a document. When I add
the macro to a form field to "run macro on entry", the
macro does not fire.
can anyone tell me what I'm failing to do?

sub prot()
activedocument.protect type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields,
noreset:=true password:="bingo"
end sub

The document would have to be protected in the first instance for the macro
to run on entry to the formfield. Formfields don't act as formfields UNTIL
the document is protected.

Hope this helps
