I want to send Word forms to people asking them to fill out thier name,
address, etc. and have them send the Word documents back to me. Once I get
them, I do't want to re-type their info - I'd like to extract the data out
into any type file, for eventual import into a custom Microsoft FoxPro
program. Hoe do I extport the fileds?

One of the options for form documents (on the Save tab of Tools | Options)
is "Save data only for forms." This should get you a little farther on your
way.

Also if using a macro:


Code:
--------------------

Dim myData1 'Kept as a variant, but can change type to suit
...
myData1 = ActiveDocument.FormFields("fieldName1").Result

Hi Suzanne. Thanks for the suggestion. It worked great. Now, how do I put
data IN to those fields? (I'm a FoxPro programmer and can use any format.)
