Question

I don’t have too much experience with VB Scripting but I’m trying to write something that will search for a specific string in a word document, replace it with whatever I specify and then print it out on a label printer.

It does the first replacement just fine, but not the second. Could anyone have a look and see what I might be doing wrong?

Option Explicit

Dim WordApp
Dim WordDoc
Dim strReadCompName
Dim strReadCompSN

Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = TRUE

WordApp.Documents.Open("C:\LabelTemplate.doc")
WordApp.Documents("LabelTemplate.doc").Activate

Set WordDoc = WordApp.ActiveDocument

strReadCompName = InputBox("Enter Computer Name", "Name")
strReadCompSN = InputBox("Enter Serial Number", "Serial")

With WordApp.Selection.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .MatchWholeWord = TRUE
    .Text = "nametext"
    .Execute ,,,,,,,,,strReadCompName
End With

With WordApp.Selection.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .MatchWholeWord = TRUE
    .Text = "serialtext"
    .Execute ,,,,,,,,,strReadCompSN
End With

WordDoc.PrintOut()
WordDoc.Saved = TRUE
WordApp.Quit

Solved my own problem haha

Oracle Certified Professional was right. All I had to do was add another statement to move the cursor back to the beginning. I just added WordApp.Selection.GoTo 1 to the beginning.

Option Explicit
'Procedure to edit word document add name and serial number. 
Sub SearchAndRep(searchTerm, replaceTerm, WordApp)
    WordApp.Selection.GoTo 1
    With WordApp.Selection.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Replacement.ClearFormatting
        .MatchWholeWord = True
        .Text = searchTerm
        .Execute ,,,,,,,,,replaceTerm
    End With
End Sub

Dim WordApp
Dim WordDoc
Dim strReadCompName
Dim strReadCompSN
Dim objNetwork, WSHPrinters, counter

'Enumerate through printers to find local Zebra printer.
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set WSHPrinters = objNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections

For counter = 0 To WSHPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
    If Left(WSHPrinters.Item(counter +1), 5) = "Zebra" Then
        WScript.Echo(WSHPrinters.Item(counter +1))
        objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter(WSHPrinters.Item(counter +1))
    End If
Next

'Create a Microsoft Word Object and make it invisible. 
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = FALSE

'Open LabelTemplate.doc for editing. 
Set WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open("C:\LabelTemplate.doc")

'Read in name and serial number to print on label. 
strReadCompName = InputBox("Enter Computer Name", "Name")
strReadCompSN = InputBox("Enter Serial Number", "Serial")

'Procedures to edit the Word Document to add name and serial number. 
SearchAndRep "nametext", strReadCompName, WordApp
SearchAndRep "serialtext", strReadCompSN, WordApp

'Print out the label. 
'WordApp.PrintOut()

'Set the default printer back to what it was before. 
'Still have to do this. 
objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter "\\******\**********"
WordDoc.Saved = TRUE
WordDoc.Close
WordApp.Quit
