Setting a variable in macro - Object Required error

[#1]

Hi,

I'm trying to set a variable in a macro to the OS User name, so i can call the variable later in the macro and use it to write to a databse... However I'm getting an Object required error... heres my code

set table = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TBComments")
set vUser = ActiveDocument.Variables("vOSUser").GetContent.String
For RowIter = 1 to table.GetRowCount-1
set vKPI = table.GetCell(RowIter,1)
set vMonth = table.GetCell(RowIter,2)
set vMeeting = table.GetCell(RowIter,0)
set vComment = table.GetCell(RowIter,4)
set vKey = table.GetCell(RowIter,3)

All of the variable are set ok, apart from the vUser one, the error i get is Object required: '[string: "ABC"]'

where ABC is the OS username and vOSUser is a variable in the document set to = OSUser()

I've also tried

set vUser = ActiveDocument.Evaluate("OsUser()")

Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Matt

Hi QQ,

to use this ... vUser = ActiveDocument.Variables("vOSUser").GetContent.String ( set exceed)

good luck, Luis.
