Oh good! That means I definately come to the right place to ask about this. I have found a FormFields() method for documents that seems to be able to access the defined fields by number, doc.FormFields(1), FormFields(2), etc. I am looking at some Perl code where a guy is using the same API. Is the FormFields() method familiar to the group?
