docvariable

[coconutt]

I have a document that is generated from another program. The fields from the
other and are listed as docvariable. Is there a way to take these variables
in word and use them elsewhere.

EX: ILS03(this is patient balance) i would like to add 35% to this. any
thoughts

Thanks

I suppose if you know the value of one docvariable, you could create
another based on that value.

Sub Test()
Dim oVar As Variables
Set oVar = ActiveDocument.Variables
oVar("Test").Value = "200"
oVar("Product").Value = oVar("Test").Value * 0.35
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
End Sub

Hi Greg,

To add 35%, I think the line would be

oVar("Product").Value = oVar("Test").Value * 1.35

Dave,

True. A typo which I rarely do ;-)

I wouldn't know the variable, as to the ammount. I only know what the
variable is called from the generated letter
