Append values from a MS Word form to an existing CSV or text file

markiko · #1 07-11-2019, 01:12 PM

I have a MS Word (Office 2016) form (attached) that uses different types of Custom Controls.

I want to extract the values and add them to an existing file, which is used as a data source for various excel spreadsheets. The existing file is located at: \\mynetworklocation\mysubfolder\sourcefile.csv

I've spent hours searching for a solution, but none seem to work. I tried exporting as a csv to a new file (with the intent of later concatenating it to the other), but the export ignores the checkbox status (true/false, checked/unchecked).

I'm at a loss.

The following will extract the data to an worksheet including the values from the checkboxes. Extract data from forms You can save the worksheet as CSV.
The basic code to get the value from a checkbox content control is

Code:

Sub Macro1()
Dim oCC As ContentControl
Dim objCC As Object
Dim strData As String
    Set oCC = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("SportsCheckbox").Item(1)
    If oCC.Type = wdContentControlCheckBox And Val(Application.Version) > 12 Then
        Set objCC = oCC
        If objCC.Checked Then
            strData = True
        Else
            strData = False
        End If
        MsgBox strData
    Else
        MsgBox "Not a checkbox"
    End If
End Sub
