Macro looping through two fields.

Hi all,

I have this requirement in macro explained below.

I have this:

Field 1 Field 2

a	1
b	2
c	3
d	4
	5
	6
	7
	8
	9
	10
	11

Field 1 is the main field with satatic 4 values. Field 2 subfield of F1, each value in F1 has 11 elements in F2 .

The only thing i need to do is loop through F1 value A and loop in all F2 and then pass to the next element in F1 and so...

My code is this:

Sub importantLoop set x=ActiveDocument.Fields("Field1").GetPossibleValues For u=0 to x.count-1 ActiveDocument.Fields("Field1").Select x.item(u).Text next End Sub

but when i ran it, it olny select the first value in F1, 4 times (i need to add the second field)

any idea?. also, both F1 and F2 are string values.

Thanks in advanced.

From a pure loop point of view you will need a second loop within the first one - it's completely the same logic just nesting one within the another. But I think it will be rather not useful in the end because the fields are in general independent of each other and only if each fieldvalue from field 1 has the same number of sub-values in field 2 and those values are also always the same such loop will work.

Therefore I think you need to loop through a table of both fields - within the following link is an example how it could be done: Export-to-CSV-with-quotation-marks.

For u=0 to x.count-1
ActiveDocument.Fields("Field1").Select x.item(i).Text
next

Correct:

For i=0 to x.count-1
ActiveDocument.Fields("Field1").Select x.item(i).Text
next
