Hi,

Does anyone know if I could insert my point field into an embedded Excel table in my word doc? That is, instead of inserting the field into the Word portion of my custom form, instead it would get put into the embedded Excel table within the word doc (custom form pcd)? So that I could do some fancy calculations Smile

I know I can export to a file, then use Excel on the data, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Thanks
Jay

You can do this using VBA and the Excel object OLE model. It requires some object-oriented programming knowledge. You also have to trap the BeforeDocumentMerge and AfterDocumentMerge events so you can pick up the merge variables.

As long as you're doing this, you may as well do the calculations in VBA. It offers most of the financial formulas you would need.
