Fields are from building forms, manually or such as the mail merge.

So Ryan, Doc.Fields.Update() does this line updates the mail merge fields? With what values?

ZurdoDev 30-Nov-15 15:36pm

What values? From the mail merge. Are you familiar with mail merge?

ZurdoDev 30-Nov-15 15:57pm

It updates fields. I suggest you may want to read the help file on what fields are. There are different kinds.

yash35 30-Nov-15 15:58pm

Ok.. Thanks Ryan...

ZurdoDev 30-Nov-15 16:04pm

Sure.

For example, a real simple one is today's date. You can put a field on a word doc that is a formula. So, if you call Fields.Update() then that field will be updated to the current value of the formula.

It may make sense realizing that most form fields are some sort of formula so it's just updating them.

ohhh... ok. Now i am clear with what fields are and what update() does
Thank you so much.... :)
