Problem Printing Customized Outlook Form using Word Template
 
In case it's helpful to anyone, this is what I used to deal with the problem
(in can be adapted for either option buttons or checkboxes):

For counter = 1 to intBkList
strField = Trim(objWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(counter))
Set objPage =Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Message")
Set objControl = objPage.Controls(strField)
strField1 = objControl.Value
If strField1 = True then
strField2 = "¤"
ElseIf strField1 = False then
strField2 = "¡"
Else
strField2 = strField1
End If
objWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(strField).Range.T ext = Cstr(strField2)
Next

Forget option buttons/check boxes in Word: it's only being used for the
printout so make sure the correct areas of your template are formatted to
Wingdings and use this code to drop in the right symbol!

You should to set the check box's Value property explictly, and the expression you set it to must be a True/False expression:

oDoc.FormFields("FieldName").CheckBox.Value = item.userproperties("FieldName")

I created an OL form and used the Sub cmdPrint_Click code to print the form
data. I got the oDoc.FormFields ("FieldName").Result = item.userproperties
("FieldName") part working. However, I'm having trouble with the checkboxes
and radio buttons. I've tried using oDoc.FormFields("FieldName").CheckBox =
item.userproperties("FieldName") but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm missing
something or is there a different code that I need to use to transfer the
data to the Word template?

I hope someone has the answer to this. I've searched online and in Word and
Outlook books to no avail. Thank you!

I tried using that code but I get the following error - "MS Word: The
requested member of the collection does not exist.".

Hi Daniel

I'm assuming you're answering my message (but I may be wrong):

For counter = 1 to intBkList
strField = Trim(objWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(counter))
....
objWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(strField).Range.T ext = Cstr(strField2)
....

If you're getting the Word error message it must be to do with one of the
lines I've reproduced above. It could mean Word isn't finding the particular
bookmark so I guess your "counter" variable has reached a number for which
there's no equivalent index for a bookmark in the active document. Have you
set intBkList too high?

Take a look at this thread at www.outlookcode.com:

How to get at the values of user defined fields on a custom form?

Note Sue's comment: Sue Mosher 10-Feb-2006 06:48
Because UserProperties is for custom fields, not built-in fields. If you
have Outlook 2003, you can use ItemProperties for both.

Sue also has a page about the syntax for using fields in scripts, but I
can't find it today. You should try again later.

Thank you, Sue. I searched on syntax and it never came up. I will go
read it and find a good keyword to use.
