How to select a field with alternate state using a macro

[#1]

I want to select a field with alternate state using a macro.

The following statement works for the field with default state.

ActiveDocument.Fields("Aisle").Select  "Aisle1",true

I want to extend this to be used with an alternate state called "State1".

I tried the following but no luck so far;

ActiveDocument.Fields("State1::Aisle").Select  "Aisle1",true

ActiveDocument.Fields("{State1}Aisle").Select  "Aisle1",true

Can someone shed some light here pls.?

...Better late than never.

Either of the below lines should work for you:

ActiveDocument.GetField("Aisle", "State1").Select "Aisle1", True

ActiveDocument.Fields("Aisle", "State1").Select "Aisle1", True

A late thank you mchasse!  Really useful - why they can't put this in the documentation or at least the API Guide is beyond me!!

Thank you Mike.

Out of morbid curiosity, where would one locate this information in documentation??
