docVariables

[JPD3]

I have used docVariables in a Word document with VB6 without any problem until I needed to put 2 of them in the header of the document. It simply doesn't update when I run: docFile.Fields.Update

I can right click on them in the header and select Update and it does display the value. So, I know they are there. But, in VB it ignores it. I don't get an error.

Anyone have any ideas?

You may try something like this:
For Each myStoryRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
myStoryRange.Fields.Update
While Not (myStoryRange.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
Set myStoryRange = myStoryRange.NextStoryRange
myStoryRange.Fields.Update
Wend
Next myStoryRange

Hope This Helps, PH.
