Syntax Question - Regarding variables and object model reference

[Johan Axelsson]

Hi!

I want to use a variabel to access objects in the
ThisDocument object. But I can't get it to work. Probably
very simple.

example:

I want to access this field ThisDocument.addressfield.Value

by doing
Dim str as String
str = "addressfield"

ThisDocument.str.Value 'This Doesn't work. how do I do
this.

BR,
Johan

I've answered this to you elsewhere today.

You are confusing a string with an object. Just because the value of the
string is the same and the Name of an object there is no connection
between the two.

What you have to do is to go through the collection of Form Fields on the
document (as I remember this is what you are looking for) with a
For...Next loop and then compare the .Name property of each Form Field
object with the value of the string.

When the two match then you can proceed further.
