Default Excel Userform to Word Template Bookmarks

Hi,

I'm new to the forum so If i haven't given enoguh info/you need anything inparticular I can easily sort! Apologies for missing it out in advance!!

The Issue



I have made an excel spreadsheet with a command button which when pressed automatically opens a excel userform. This userform then opens up my word template (with bookmarks).

The userform will automatically fill it's fields using particular cell refrences and a bit of manual entry and then when I press okay I want the inputs to then populate the word bookmarks. The issue is that when I press okay I get an error 424. Because excel is trying to fill in it's own bookmarks not MSwords.

So my question is...is this possible? Can I populate the bookmarks in word using a userform from excel?

My userform code below:

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim wApp As Object
Dim wDoc As Object
Set wApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wApp.Visible = True
wApp.DisplayAlerts = False
Set wDoc = wApp.Documents.Open(Filename:="C:\Documents and Settings\jcrinage\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\BradfordFactorIssueVW.dot ", ReadOnly:=False)
With cboWarningDuration
    .AddItem "3 months"
    .AddItem "6 months"
    .AddItem "9 months"
    .AddItem "12 months"
End With
With cboAppealChairman
    .AddItem "Person 1"
    .AddItem "Person 2"
    .AddItem "Person 3"
    .AddItem "Person 4"
    .AddItem "Person 5"
End With
cboWarningDuration.Value = " 6 months"
End Sub
Private Sub txtRecipientAddress_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
'Automatic fill-in for salutation control.
On Error Resume Next
Me.txtSalutation = Left(txtRecipientAddress, InStr(Me.txtRecipientAddress, vbCrLf) - 1)
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Private Sub cmdClear_Click()
txtRecipientAddress.Value = Null
txtSalutation.Value = Null
txtCurrentBFScore.Value = Null
cboAppealChairman.Value = Null
cboWarningDuration.Value = Null
txtHearingDate.Value = Null
txtAdditionalComments = Null
End Sub
Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
Unload Me
ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
Dim strSenderName As String
Dim strMeetingContact As String
Dim strTriggerPoint As String
Dim strWarningType As String
Dim strFinalWording As String
If optTriggerPoint1 = True Then strTriggerPoint = "first trigger point (>50 Points)"
If optTriggerPoint2 = True Then strTriggerPoint = "second trigger point (>201 Points)"
If optTriggerPoint3 = True Then strTriggerPoint = "third trigger point (>301 Points)"
If optTriggerPoint4 = True Then strTriggerPoint = "final trigger point ( >501 Points)"
If optTriggerPoint1 = True Then
    strWarningType = "verbal warning"
End If
If optTriggerPoint2 = True Then
    strWarningType = "first written warning"
End If
If optTriggerPoint3 = True Then
    strWarningType = "final written warning"
End If
If optTriggerPoint4 = True Then
    strWarningType = "dismissal notice"
End If
If optTriggerPoint1 = True Then
    strFinalWording = "first trigger point on the Bradford Factor calculation further disciplinary action may result once a score of 201 or above is reached"
End If
If optTriggerPoint2 = True Then
    strFinalWording = "second trigger point on the Bradford Factor calculation further disciplinary action may result once a score of 301 or above is reached"
End If
If optTriggerPoint3 = True Then
    strFinalWording = "third trigger point on the Bradford Factor calculation further disciplinary action may result once a score of 501 or above is reached"
End If
If optTriggerPoint4 = True Then
    strFinalWording = "final trigger point on the Bradford Factor calculation discplinary proceedings have been put in place"
End If
If cboAppealChairman.Value = "Person 1" Then
    strSenderName = "Person 1" & vbCrLf & "Shareholder"
End If
If cboAppealChairman.Value = "Person 2" Then
    strSenderName = "Person 2" & vbCrLf & "Managing Director"
End If
If cboAppealChairman.Value = "Person 3" Then
    strSenderName = "Person 3" & vbCrLf & "Installations Manager"
End If

If cboAppealChairman.Value = "Person 4" Then
    strSenderName = "Person 4" & vbCrLf & "Financial Director"
End If
If cboAppealChairman.Value = "Person 5" Then
    strSenderName = "Person 5" & vbCrLf & "Factory Manager"
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With wDoc
    .Bookmarks("RecipientName").Range.Text = txtRecipientAddress.Value
    .Bookmarks("Salutation").Range.Text = txtSalutation.Value
    .Bookmarks("MeetingDate").Range.Text = txtHearingDate.Value
    .Bookmarks("TriggerPoint").Range.Text = strTriggerPoint
    .Bookmarks("CurrentBFScore").Range.Text = txtCurrentBFScore.Value
    .Bookmarks("DisciplinaryIssued").Range.Text = strWarningType
    .Bookmarks("DisciplinaryIssued2").Range.Text = strWarningType
    .Bookmarks("DisciplinaryPeriod").Range.Text = cboWarningDuration.Value
    .Bookmarks("FinalWording").Range.Text = strFinalWording
    .Bookmarks("Appeal").Range.Text = cboAppealChairman.Value
    .Bookmarks("Signature").Range.Text = strSenderName
    .Bookmarks("AdditionalComments").Range.Text = txtAdditionalComments.Value
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Unload Me

End Sub

The code you've posted isn't trying to update Excel at all, and your Word bookmark population process isn't responsible for any errors.

Unless you're planning to edit the template, instead of creating a new document from it, you should be using Word's Documents.Add method, not Documents.Open.

PS: When posting code, please use the code tags, indicated by the # button on the posting menu. Without them, your code loses much of whatever structure it had.
