enter text into a form field and preserve the field

[tebathe3]

odd question I know, but I actually need code to insert text into a form field and preserve the field. so in other words, i do not want to select the field and have the text replace it; it would look like you had just set the default text for a form field. is this possible?

Nevermind, I found the appropriate property, thanks.

Actually, I have just discovered the code I am using works in 2003, but not XP:

If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("bmkDocketNo") Then
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bmkDocketNo").Range.Fields(1).Result.Text = txtDocket.Text
    End If

Any ideas?

Formfields are members of both the formfield collection AND the bookmarks collection. Try using the Formfield collection, rather than the Bookmarks collection.

ActiveDocument.[COLOR=blue][b]Formfields[/b][/color blue]("bmkDocketNo").Result = txtDocket.Text

Is there a particular reason why you are using code the bookmark, rather than the formfield?
