The following code example assumes that you have declared an application variable called "App" in your general declarations and have set the variable equal to the Word Application object.

Private Sub App_ProtectedViewWindowBeforeEdit(ByVal PvWindow As ProtectedViewWindow, Cancel As Boolean) 
 Dim intResponse As Integer

 & "want to edit the document?", _ 
 vbYesNo)
