Issue Using FormFields.Result

boCash · #1 04-04-2017, 12:54 PM

Hey all,

I have a form field, let's call it "myIndex", that I would like to grab the contents of.

Can anyone explain why this code functions properly:

Code:

Sub test()
     MsgBox ActiveDocument.FormFields("myIndex").Result
End Sub

But this code throws an object required error:

Code:

Sub test()
    Dim myString As String
    Set myString = ActiveDocument.FormFields("myIndex").Result
End Sub

I'm going nuts trying to figure out why this isn't working.

Quote:

Edit: Figured it out, I needed to remove the Set before myString.
