Dear Mr. Stuart Dunkeld,

Thank you so much for you guidance with respect to my query. i have been successful in implementing your solution.

however, i have a couple of further queries on the same issue of bookmarks -

1. on the same MS Word document there is a DROP-DOWN list with bookmark name "DD1" and having possible values as follows - "Y", "N", "N/A" - my question is how can i set the value of the DROP-DOWN list to one of the aforesaid values for example, how can i set the value to "N/A" through vfp6.0 code using bookmarks ?

2. there is also a CHECK BOX with bookmark name "Check1" - my question is how can i change its status to CHECKED (value to show a "X" in the check box) through vfp6.0 code using bookmarks ?

with sincere thanks in advance.
