OK, here is the problem. I have an excel form where we fill out information on a per piece basis. The file is supposed named after what piece is done. I have not perfected that part but that is not my question. I am trying to figure out how to update a MS word table to represent what parts have been done (basically which files exist). For example, if item number 1A2 LS2 was done there would be a file named 1a2ls2.xls. In the MS word table I would have a column titled function and a row titled 1a2 ls2. I would need it take information from 2 specific cells from the excel file if it does excess.
