Select a field in a cyclic group

[m_woolf]

I want to select a field in a cycic group in code.

I found this code in an existing discussion:

sub set_group_field

      set gp = ActiveDocument.GetGroup("TimeGroup")

      do while gp.GetActiveField.Name <> "By Month"

      gp.Cycle 1

      loop

end sub

When I run the code it errors on the do while line with

Object required: 'gp.GetActiveField'

Any ideas?

That may happen if your dimension in the group is actually a calculated dimension.

You can change your code to:

do while activedocument.evaluate("=GetCurrentField([GroupName])") <> "FIELDNAME"

but instead of a simple string you can get the whole expression. Then, you can use

msgbox ( activedocument.evaluate("=GetCurrentField([GroupName])")) , in the first time to check what is going on.

Your code works fine for me, check that the group name is correct, specially the case letters.
