Add an invisible comment

[Warrio]

Hello!

Sorry for the previous post in French...

I'm wondering if it is possible with VBA to add a comment to a new document
created in with code as well.
With MsAccess, there is for each control, a property "Tag" that allows to
add any string

I unfortunately cannot add a line into one of the document's pages (even in
small and in white font) because it would change the general layout of the
document.

and because it is a new document, I cannot give it a new variable and then
set it...

Thanks for any suggestion

You can add a custom document property, by adding to the
CustomDocumentProperties collection of the document, or you can add a
document variable, by adding to the Variables collection of the document.

Hi Jonathan!

Thanks for your response,

but how do you add a new variable in document that is created automatically?
I'll need to generate have a code that writes code inside the new
document... I know how to do it manually but I won't be there when the user
will click on the button to create the document...

also there is a place into the properties of the document (File menu,
Properties) but I couldn't find the direct VBA command to set it.

Thanks again

Look up the Variables collection in the VBA Help - there is a code example.
Similarly, if you decide to use a custom document property, look up the
DocumentProperties collection in VBA help. Both collections have an Add
method that allows you to create a new variable or property.

Thanks a lot!
CustomDocumentProperties works fine!

if it could help someone, here is the syntax...

myDoc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add Name:="CommentName", Value:="coment
balabla", Type:=msoPropertyTypeString
