assigning a value to a table cell using VBA in word

[mark_jm]

I am using vba code as code assigned to a button on a user form.
The offending code is


Dim mytable As Table

Set mytable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
MsgBox (mytable.Cell(1, 1))
id = student(numc, 2) ' where numc is
an integer used to select the sorrect table row
mytable.Columns(1).Cells(1) = id 'Student is an array holding
values read from the form

It falls over highlighting the code ".Cells(1)=" in blue stating error
message " invalid use of property".

The help at that point talks about property let and property get statements ?

I have also tried mytable.Cells(numc,1) and mytable.cells(1, 1) just to try
and get it working with no joy

Please help

Try using ...

mytable.Columns(1).Cells(1).Range = id

or, more explicitly, ...

mytable.Columns(1).Cells(1).Range.Text = id
