Status: offline 		I keep getting an error saying object required "secindex" 800a01a8.  The program is supposed to find out how many sections are in a document.  Then loop through all the sections and change the multiple carry forwards property.   Can someone help me.  

Function getsect()
     Dim sectcnt
     Dim secindex
     Dim i
sectcnt = Document.sectionCount()
MsgBox sectcnt
i=0
secindex = Document.section(i)

 do while secindex <> sectcnt
 secindex.allowMultipleCfds = 1
 i=i+1

 loop
End Function

Status: offline 		There are some fundamental issues here:

1)When you are assigning objects to a variable, you need to use the set keyword:
Set secindex = Document.section(i)

2) Your Do loop is running while secindex <> sectcnt. secindex is an object and sectcnt is an integer. The wo will never be equal.

3) I don't know exactly what you want to do, but this may point you in the right direction:

Function getsect()
     Dim sectcnt
     Dim secindex
     Dim i
    sectcnt = Document.sectionCount()
   MsgBox sectcnt
    i=0
   do while secindex <> sectcnt
        Document.Section(i).allowMultipleCfds = 1
        i=i+1
    loop
End Function

Status: offline 		The script is supposed to loop through all the sections and change a property in the sections.  My logic here was to Find out how many sections in the document which is done by this statement


sectcnt = Document.sectionCount()


Then i would loop through all the sections and change the carryforwards property with these statements :


 do while i <> sectcnt
  Document.section(i)
Document.Section(i).allowMultipleCfds = 1
 
 
Thats all the script is doing.

Status: offline 		My problem now is the fact that i keep getting the object required error in regards to setting secindex equal to document.section(i)
The program i am writing in is a proprietary software made by a canadian company  With that being said, the collection SECTIONS does not exist under the document object, instead it is called section.  I figure once i can assigned that object reference to that variable i can just put in the code that i want the function to execute inside the loop and i am done. 


function getsect()
 set secindex = Document.section(i)
sectcnt = Document.sectionCount()

MsgBox sectcnt
 
  'initialize loop counter to zero
i= 0  

MsgBox i
    
do while i <> sectcnt
'loop code here

    'increment loop counter
i= i+1 
End function

Are you writing this code in their software or are you writing code that is being run by the windows script host and simply using a COM object exposed by this other company's software?

Status: offline 		From looking at that model, it appears that .Section is not a collection. If that is the case then you cannot use (i) to get different sections. I think you are going to need to find someone that has worked with this software before to figure out the way to script what you need.
