    Skipping An Unavailable Record

    Do you have a cut and paste issue where you confused ttcbc with the item table or ttcbc with cupbackconv? You are checking if ttcbc is available when inside a FOR EACH ttcbc (it is always available). The item table seems to come out of nowhere. I'm not sure which table you want the next...

    Bookmarks in Word 2007

    chBookmark = chDoc:Bookmarks:ITEM(1). chBookMark:select. or just chDoc:Bookmarks:ITEM(1):SELECT. if you don't need the handle. I would expect ITEM() to be zero based. The example I'm looking at actually passes a name in ITEM() instead of a number, so I'm not certain.
