Problems setting a variable to a concatenated string

[#1]

I need to take the selected values in the l_freq and u_freq, and use them to create a string that will be used as select criteria for another field in the document.  The code I have so far (to build the string, and put the string in a variable) doesn't seem to work.

sub SetLimits()

end sub

When the code gets to the last line, I get an error that says: "Object Required: 'SelectString'

What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and yes, I realize that I can do this in an action, but I ran into problems with things not happening sequentially, so variables were not getting set properly.

Thanks!

dim SelectString

SelectString = ""

ActiveDocument.Fields("l_freq").SelectPossible
ActiveDocument.Fields("u_freq").SelectPossible

set LB = ActiveDocument.getField("l_freq").getSelectedValues()
set UB = ActiveDocument.getField("u_freq").getSelectedValues()

for i = 0 to LB.Count-1
     if i = 0 then SelectString = "("
     SelectString = SelectString & ">=" & LB.item(i).text & "<=" & UB.item(i).text
     if i = LB.Count-1 then
          SelectString = SelectString & ")"
     else
          SelectString = SelectString & "|"
     end if
next

ActiveDocument.Variables("Variable1").setContent SelectString.GetContent.string, true

[erichshiino · Accepted solution]

at the last line you don't need the .getcontent.string

ActiveDocument.Variables("Variable1").setContent SelectString, true

I guess this is because this variable  (SelectString) was only exists in this macro environment.

The other case you were working with an object associated with a document variable.

Hope it helps,
