How can I re-populate my userform after closing the document?

[pfigen@gmail.com]

Hi, my first post here, so please go easy on me

I have a Word document using two separate userforms to fill in information into bookmarks in the main doc. Everything is working fine, the bookmarks are updated and I can re-open the userforms as long as the main doc is not saved and closed. The challenge is that if I close the main doc, and opens it again, I have to fill in all the textboxes in the userform again. Is there a way to make the userform automatically read the bookmarks upon opening?

Here is what I have done so far:

When the doc is opened I have the following code:

Private Sub Document_Open()
UserForm1.Show
UserForm2.Show


End Sub

I can also open the userforms by two command buttons:

Private Sub ShowUserForm1_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Private Sub ShowUserForm2_Click()
UserForm2.Show
End Sub

Then, the UserForm1 uses the following code to insert data to a bookmark:

Private Sub OKbutton_Click()
Dim BMClientCompanyName As Range

Set BMClientCompanyName = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("NameOfClientHeader").Ran ge
BMClientCompanyName.Text = Me.TextBoxClientCompanyName.Value
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "NameOfClientHeader", BMClientCompanyName

Me.Repaint
UserForm1.Hide


Any support will be highly appreciated!

As your bookmarks enclose the text you insert all you need to do is reverse the logic of your existing code. You would put this code into the Initialize event of the user form, e.g.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Me.TextBoxClientCompanyName.Value = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("NameOfClientHeader").Range.Text
End Sub

Thank you so much, Italophile, that solved my problem and saved me and my colleagues a bunch of time
