[RESOLVED] Persistent document variables VBA word

[gkukurin]

I'm setting a document variable in msWord.

I can set it.
Delete it.
Reset it.
Read the value of it.

But I don't know how to tell if it already exists????

this goes in the Office Development


Word is the only Office app I have little exp with programming..
is there a "variable" object?
like ThisDocument.Variable.Count?

G'Day gkukurin, Welcome to the Forum

How have you set the variable? Can you post the code you used (if you did it in code)?

[gkukurin]

'This code creates a doc_var called <Fullname>
'And sets the doc_var value to the value of a textbox


Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()

ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:="FULLNAME", Value:= txtINDI.Text

End Sub

You're right on!!!

Yes I can obtain a count and this in turn gives me the info I need to
determine how many, if any variables exist.

Thanks!!!!

As an alternative to .Count, you could use the Variables Collection like:

Dim objVar As Variable
For Each objVar In ActiveDocument.Variables
    MsgBox "Name =" & objVar.Name & vbCr & "Value = " & objVar.Value
Next

Yeah Burce... thats where I was headed... if there was a variables collection (object) then u could loop through

Glad it worked!
