Userforms and VBA in Word 2007/2010 - Combobox with addresses

What do you now have in the Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() event?

You will need to replicate a good part of that to populate the second listbox from where ever the data for it resides.

Hope this helps.

You're going to hate me, but if it's any consolation, I love you so much for helping me several times on these forums lol

Now the above has worked amazingly, but I'd now like a second list box to be used to reference another table with 2 columns and a continuously growing number of rows.  I would like the first row to appear in the list box to name each document (for which the text for that document is in column 2), but I'd like the second column not to show in the list box but when selected and used with a command button to appear in my template below the address.

 

The source document will look something like this:

Column1                                Column2

DocName1                            "Content of letter1"

DocName2                            "Content of letter2"

DocName3                            "Content of letter3"

 

So listbox2 will show:

DocName1

DocName2

DocName3

etc.

 

When one of the above is selected, and used with a command button, I'd like the text contained in column 2 of the source document for the above to be placed at the docvariable field ( Docvariable Doctemplate ).

 

I'm guessing you can use one command button to use both ListBox1 with the addresses and ListBox2 with the letter content at the same time, right?

 

I tried duplicating the code in your last post for ListBox2 but nothing appears in ListBox2.  Should I just create another userform?  I mean, that's simple enough with what you've given to me already, it'd just be cleaner and more convenient to have this all on one form.

...

Thanks again!! :-D

Hi Doug,

So far my code looks like this:

Option Explicit

Private oVars As Variables

Private oSource As Document

Private oTable As Table

Private oRng As Range

Private strWidth As String

Private i As Long, j As Long, k As Long

Private m As Long, n As Long

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Set oVars = ActiveDocument.Variables

oVars("Address").Value = Me.ListBox1.Column(0) & vbCr & _

                         Me.ListBox1.Column(1) & vbCr & _

                         Me.ListBox1.Column(2) & vbCr & _

                         Me.ListBox1.Column(3)

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

Unload Me

End Sub

Private Sub CmdBtnCancel_Click()

Me.Hide

End Sub

Private Sub Label2_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Set oSource = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\Addresses.doc", _

                             AddToRecentFiles:=False, _

                             Visible:=False)

Set oTable = oSource.Tables(1)

'Get the number of list members (i.e., table rows - 1 if header row is used)

i = oTable.Rows.Count - 1

'Get the number of list member attributes (i.e., table columns)

j = oTable.Columns.Count

'Set the number of columns in the Listbox

With Me.ListBox1

    .ColumnCount = j

    strWidth = .Width - 2

    For k = 2 To j

        strWidth = strWidth & ";" & 0

    Next k

    .ColumnWidths = strWidth

    'Load list members into an array

    ReDim myArray(i, j)

    For n = 0 To j - 1

        For m = 0 To i - 1

            Set oRng = oTable.Cell(m + 2, n + 1).Range

            oRng.End = oRng.End - 1

            myArray(m, n) = oRng.Text

        Next m

    Next n

    'Populate the ListBox using the array

    .List() = myArray

    .ListIndex = 0

End With

'Close the source file

oSource.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

End Sub

I just need to know what to do with my other listbox... replicate what I need to in order to get the desired effect as mentioned in my previous post.

I forgot to add one thing.  The letters that I'm calling into my template also have reference fields, referencing the form fields on the first page of my template.  Will these ref fields call the data from the first page when the userform enters them into the document?

My entire goal for my template is this:  I have several letters that I've been using for all of my clients where I need to send out the same letter of many types to request client information.  The first page of this template is a sort of client intake form.  This form is a simple form template with fields you can just tab through and type in or select from dropdown boxes.  When the user calls up the userform and selects the address and type of letter, I was hoping for the letter to reference some of the client information I have included in pre-made ref fields referencing the fields on the first page so that when the correct letter is selected for the template, the information for that particular client will automatically enter into the document.

To me this sounds complicated and I hope it's possible, and I'm further hoping you understand what I'm trying to do and that you can help me again lol...

Thanks!
