[MrBaRRon]

Hi everybody,

I would like to open Word and I want to set the value of the textbox within the document, in VBA of course.

What is the way ?

Thank U

You have to tell us what kind of "textbox". Lordy, I dislike that word.

Is it an ActiveX Control textbox?
Is it a text Form Field?

They have different methods to get values in them.

Hi fumei,

Before I could set its value with this code:

Dim wrd As Word.Application

Set wrd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrd.Visible = True
wrd.Documents.Open "C:\ECORIGEN\Report_Totsucat.doc"

wrd.ActiveDocument.client = "TONTON"

This textbox "client" is in the header of my document, so in each page their is the same form control with the same name. With this syntax it worked and the control in each header of each page had the same value (that I want).

But I have created sections in the document to be able to copy the content of a page and to paste it at the good place.

And since I created sections I can't set the value of the textbox with the syntax above...
It tell me that the property or the method is not managed by this object....

Any idea ?

Thank U

And I created this textbox with the Word bar tools of forms.
