Message: [QUOTE="Doug Robbins - Word MVP, post: 5755852"] This routine loads a listbox with client details stored in a table in a separate document (which makes it easy to maintain with additions, deletions etc.), that document being saved as Clients.Doc for the following code. On the UserForm, have a list box (ListBox1) and a Command Button (CommandButton1) and use the following code in the UserForm_Initialize() and the CommandButton1_Click() routines Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim sourcedoc As Document Dim i As Long, j Long, m As Long, n As Long Dim myitem As Range ' Modify the path in the following line so that it matches where you ' saved Clients.doc Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' Open the file containing the client details Set sourcedoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="c:\Company.doc") ' Get the number or clients = number of rows in the table of client ' details less one i = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count - 1 ' Get the number of columns in the table of client details j = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Columns.Count ' Set the number of columns in the Listbox to match ' the number of columns in the table of client details ListBox1.ColumnCount = j ' Define an array to be loaded with the client data Dim MyArray() As Variant 'Load client data into MyArray ReDim MyArray(i, j) For n = 0 To j - 1 For m = 0 To i - 1 Set myitem = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Cell(m + 2, n + 1).Range myitem.End = myitem.End - 1 MyArray(m, n) = myitem.Text Next m Next n ' Load data into ListBox1 ListBox1.List() = MyArray ' Close the file containing the client details sourcedoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub To make it easy for you, the code has been written so that it will deal with any number of clients and any number of details about each client. It assumes that the first row of the table containing the client details is a header row. -- Hope this helps.
