I'm not sure what you are trying to do, since in Word you cannot pass a parameter either, but here is how to get to a bookmark. You may want to explain what you are trying to pass.

o=CREATEOBJECT("word.application")
o.Documents.Open("c:\mydoc.doc")
myDocument=o.Selection
myDocument.GoTo.Bookmarks("Bookmark1")

Thank you, Mike. In fact, what I did was created some form fields in a word document, these form fields are also the bookmarks. Then I built a VFP form to capture users' input and I try to pass the data to those form fields.

Anyway, I've worked out the solution:

oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application&quot
oWord.DisplayAlerts = .F.
** open the word document containing the form fields.
oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Open("C:\temp\test\test.doc&quot
** to get the form field's name: right click on a form
** field in your word document --> Field Setting
** --> Bookmark
oWordDoc.FormFields("form_field_name&quot.Result = thisform.text1.value
oWordDoc.PrintOut()
oWord.Quit()
RELEASE oWord

Glad you found your solution, although it has nothing to do with bookmarks, but rather fields. Mike Gagnon
