Inputting text to word document

[hlam]

Is there a way that I can input text via VBA to text form fields that are
write protected thru Access 2000 and how?

Here are the codes I used but not working:

Dim wd As Object
Set wd = CreateObject("word.application")
wd.Documents.Open "F:\testing"
wd.Parent.Visible = True
wd.Activate
wd.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FirstName").Select
Selection.TypeText Text:="Hello" ** error message

** error message: Method 'Selection' of object '_Global' failed

You might get a more definitive answer in a Word group, but it seems to me
that if you could write to something that was write protected, that would
mean that the write-protection mechanism was broken, no? My guess is that
you need to be looking for a way to turn protection off (and back on again
afterwards) but as I said, you may get a better answer in a Word group.
While you may be executing this code from Access, the solution, if there is
one, will probably be found in the Word object model.

Yep.

Neither "Selection" or "TypeText" are in the Access object model, so an
error on that line is a given.
I suspect that particular error would be resolved by something like:
wd.Selection.TypeText Text:="Hello"
but I say that with very little knowledge of Word's object model, so buyer
beware.

Doh! Well spotted, George!
