MS Word VB Issue

Ok...I have a MS Words form. I created a textbox in this form.

The other thing that I have is a popup "UserForm" with a listbox.

When an user select any one value from this listbox, I want that value to populate the "textbox".

Here are my codes:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextBox1").Result = Me.ListBox1.Text
Unload Me
End Sub

WHen I run this, I get an '5941' error message. Please advise what I am doing wrong.

Thank you.

Hey joesmith!

When I created a MS Word Form textbox, the default name was "Text1". Double-check that the box you're trying to modify is called TextBox1. Also are you running the code inside the userform? If not you will need to change the Me.ListBox1.Text to <insert userform name>.ListBox1.Text.

Hope that helps ya!

Thanks AJ.

I did make sure the text box is named correctly. But still not working.

in my 'main' document, i am running:
Private Sub txtLeon_GotFocus()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

In the UserForm1, I am running:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("txtLeon").Result = Me.ListBox1.Text
Unload Me
End Sub

It seems like the two are not 'communicating' to each other.

Darn, i know i am very close.

Try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim i As Long
    i = Me.ListBox1.ListIndex
    If i > -1 Then
        ActiveDocument.FormFields("txtLeon").Result = Me.ListBox1.List(i)
        Unload Me
    Else
        MsgBox "Please select a list item"
    End If
End Sub

---

Nope.....still not working; same error message.

I tell ya....i think there is somekind of manual setting that I need to fix in MS Words. It seems like the codes are not recognizing the fields or the form.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

That must work if you create correct FormField textbox.
If you use ActiveX textbox or Form textbox then the code must be different.

try replacing the reference to activedocument to the specfic document
documents("document1").

i tested your original code, worked fine (word 2000), whether document was protected (for forms) or not

are you sure that txtleon is a forms textbox, not a controls textbox?
