Getting data from input box into MS Word Form

[jim9912]

I am using the following Macro to get data from the user via a popup
box. How can I then deposit the contents of the variable fname into a
form field on the parent document?

<code>
Sub Getinput()
Dim fname
fname = InputBox("Enter your name:")
End Sub
</code>


I tried this, where text10 is the name of the form field. I also tried
text10.text = fname.:
<code>
Sub Getinput()
Dim fname
fname = InputBox("Enter your name:")
text10 = fname
End Sub
</code>

I'm sure the answer must be simple, but alas, I am a novice.

Hi Jim,

like this:

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result = "xxx"

whereby "xxx" is what your inputbox returns.

Also, to prevent errors like this in the future, you may want to turn the
option explicit on in your vba.

Option Explicit

This goes at the beginning of a module and forces declaration of all
variables.
