retrieve data back to userform

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I have a problem with bookmarks. I have a userform called "New application
form" made up for a template .dot. In the word, i have insert bookmarks that
correspond to the text fields in the userform. So, when user finishes filling
out the fields and hit "OK" button, all the data are put into bookmarks.

However, what i'm trying to do now is to be able to retrieve all those data
back from bookmarks to the form. I know the code to retrieve values from
bookmarks to textfields in the userform. The reason for this is to allow user
to edit some of the data through the form. (don't know if by doing this, i
have made my life more difficult). Anyway, i created another userform called
"Editing application form" and a Edit button (use macro). So when user clicks
on this button, it brings up the "Editing application form" with all the data
in their appropriate text fields.

The problem here is When user hits "Edit now" button, i got error message
saying
"The requested member of the collection doesn't exist". When i checked the
bookmarks, those bookmarks are not there. I believe this is because they are
not entered in the first place during the creation of the new application
form. (something new i learn again today)

so is there any other ways that i could use apart from bookmarks and still
helps resolve my issue?

Thank you in advance
