Compile Error

External Since: Apr 30, 2008 Posts: 1

I have the following code "With
ActiveDocument.bookmarks(txtWorkNo).Range.InsertBefore(TextBox1)". And I
receive a Compile Error: Expected Function or variable. It highlights the
".InsertBefore" in the code. What did I miss that this error occurs?

I assume that txtWorkNo is declared as a String somewhere in your code.
However, if it is actually the name of the bookmark, it must be enclosed in
quotation marks.

Also, in place of:

..InsertBefore(TextBox1)

You should have

..InsertBefore TextBox1

I assume that your code is actually arranged as follows

With ActiveDocument
.Bookmarks(etc)
.etc
End With

Hope this helps.
