[AccessD] MS Word Highlight Problem

Hey Max,
  Thanks for the suggestion. However the problem, which I should have been
more clear earlier, is not that the bookmark doesn't get found, the problem
is this:

Even though the myBookmark.Range.HighlightColorIndex property gets set to
wdDarkYellow it still does not get highlighted.

myBookmark.Range.HighlightColorIndex = 0 Before AND after I set it to
wdDarkYellow (14), and I can't figure out why....

WBR
Robert

Robert,

I would change the len(mstrbidname)  bit  to  constant 7.

You know how long "Bidname" is but you don't  know how long len(mstrbidname)
is.

So it would read:

If Left(myBookmark.Name, 7) = "BidName" Then
  myBookmark.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdDarkYellow
End If

Could anyone give me some clues as to why this code does not work? Trying to
highlight a text string contained in a bookmark. No errors are thrown,
simply doesn't work?


            For Each myBookmark In objword.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
              If Left(myBookmark.Name, Len(mstrBidName)) = "BidName" Then
                 myBookmark.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdDarkYellow
              End If
            Next myBookmark

WBR
Robert
