Returning values from a built-in dialog

[Theo van der Ster]

Hi,

I'm trying to return values from the Replace dialog. I've done this
successfully with other dialogs but for the Replace dialog this somehow
doesn't work. Any ideas are welcome.

TIA,
Theo


With Dialogs(wdDialogEditReplace)
.Find = strSearch
.Show
strSearch = .Find
strReplace = .Replace
End With

MsgBox strSearch
MsgBox strReplace

Hi Theo,

Does an .Update after the .Show fix it?

Regards,
Klaus

Klaus,

You're a genius! It works!

I'd never heard of the .Update possibility. Live and learn.

Thanks very much,
Theo
