Hi I am tring to populate some word cells using the prps
in my access code. To do this I need to name the
docpropery with the same name as the cells in Access. The
code for the doc property is:

{Doc Property "OrderId"\*MergeFormat}

In Insert / Field / DocumentInformation / DocProperty, I
can not seem to find how one can add new Field Properties
to the DocProperty

Could anyone please help
Many thanks
Colin

You have to add the docproperty to the CustomDocumentProperties collection.
This has nothing to do with the fields collection.

e.g.

Dim oDoc as Word.Document
Dim strOrderID
' set up oDoc and the value of strOrderID before you get here
With oDoc
On Error Resume Next
.CustomDocumentProperties("OrderID").Delete
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0

.CustomDocumentProperties.Add _
Name:="OrderID", _
LinkToContent:=False, _
Value:=strOrderID, _
Type:=msoPropertyTypeString
End With
End Sub

Then you can insert the DOCPROPERTY field as you are doing already (but
DOCPROPERTY should be one word).
