OK, the main problem is that your 'MyField' reference is in the target document and not in the source documents, which have 'Form1' & 'Form2'. In post #3 you said:


On that basis, I provided code that worked on the assumption all of the source documents would be using the same field name and that their output was simply to go somewhere the target document (I coded for the data to be inserted sequentially, at the end of the document).

If you want to obtain data from different field names in different documents and output them all into one or more fields in the target document, the code has to be written to do that. Before going down that path, though, it would be helpful if you could clarify your aims. For example, does the transferred data need to go into a formfield, or can we perhaps simply insert it at the end of the target document as the code now does?

simply insert it at the end of the target document as the code now does will be great. It doesn't have to be in a formfield.

The project is doing interviews, the each person will provide a statement that will be in a formfield that will be protected and in a folder. I need to extract those statements from the folder and place the retrieved info on the target document in paragraph form with form1, followed by Form2, etc.
