VBA Reading a Word Document's Form Field into a User Form Text Box

[Brendan]

How do I grab the value from an Form Field in an active document and then
place that value into a User Form that has a corresponding text box. I
thought it would be something like this but I can’t seem to get it to work.


Private Sub UserForm1_Initialize()

Me.tbLastFirstMiddle.Value = ActiveDocument.FormFields("docLastFirstMiddle")

End Sub

Found my own solution: Had to actually call the form [UserForm1] and forgot
the [Result] tag. Works fine.

UserForm1.tbLastFirstMiddle =
ActiveDocument.FormFields("docLastFirstMiddle").Result

Actually, you could have use the Me keyword inside the Userform Initialize
event.
You were right about the Result property though.
