Bookmarks in Word

I'm trying to access Bookmarks in Word and place text in the
document at that point. I can get VB6 to open Word and the template I'm using. However, I get an error message telling me I'm not using the syntax correctly.

Can anyone HELP me!!!! PLEASE!!!!

That's the only problem in this program.

When vb says there is a syntax error, doesnt that mean that something wasnt spelled correctly?

Maybe you could provide some code?

Thanks Jeff,

Here's some code. I'm being told that the object doesn't exist. However the bookmark ("LDate")does exist in the Word .dot file.

'create Word object variable
Set A = CreateObject("Word.Application")
A.Visible = True 'show word
'open a new document
A.Documents.Open _
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Proposals\NoBidLtr.dot"
'write text to bookmarks in NoBid template
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("LDate") = ldate

Thanks for your help. :o

Try changing the last line to

A.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("LDate").range = ldate

Thank you very much. It worked! I'm somewhat new to Visual Basic but have had other programming languages in college.

Thanks again!
