Content Control not recognizing content - vba

Question

I was hoping someone could help me work out why the the 'F' value in my code below continues to include my error label in the ErrorMessage String when the Count value is 5?
In the document, the content control contains text just like all the other controls (which work perfectly) but this content Control text value is not being recognised in the VBA code to map error labels.
Have tried just replacing the control and checking the properties match. Debug messages suggest the the value is just being set to the default Content Control Value of "Click or Tap here to input text".
Private Sub Create_Click()
Dim oCC As ContentControl
Dim oCC2 As ContentControl
Dim Mandatory(9) As String
Dim ErrorMessage As String
Dim ErrorCount As Integer
Dim ErrorLabel(9) As String
Dim objDoc As Document
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strFileString As String
Dim Number As String
Mandatory(0) = "A"
Mandatory(1) = "B"
Mandatory(2) = "C"
Mandatory(3) = "D"
Mandatory(4) = "E"
Mandatory(5) = "F"
Mandatory(6) = "G"
Mandatory(7) = "H"
Mandatory(8) = "I"
ErrorLabel(0) = "A Label"
ErrorLabel(1) = "B Label"
ErrorLabel(2) = "C Label"
ErrorLabel(3) = "D Label"
ErrorLabel(4) = "E Label"
ErrorLabel(5) = "F Label"
ErrorLabel(6) = "G Label"
ErrorLabel(7) = "H Label"
ErrorLabel(8) = "I Label"
ErrorMessage = ""
ErrorMessage = "The following mandatory fields are missing: "
For Count = 0 To 8
Set oCC = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle(Mandatory(Count)).Item(1)
MsgBox (oCC.Range.Text)
If Count = 0 Then
Number = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle(Mandatory(Count)).Item(1).Range.Text
End If
If oCC.Range.Text = "Click or tap here to enter text." Or oCC.Range.Text = "0.00" Then
ErrorMessage = ErrorMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "- " & ErrorLabel(Count)
MsgBox (oCC.Range.Text)
ErrorCount = ErrorCount + 1
End If
Next Count
If ErrorCount > 0 Then
MsgBox (ErrorMessage)
Else
strFileString = Number
MsgBox (strFileString)
strFilename = "Some Text Here" & " - " & strFileString & ".pdf"
With ActiveDocument
NewPath = .Path & "\" & strFilename
.SaveAs2 FileName:=NewPath, FileFormat:=wdFormatPDF
.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=strFilename, ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
OpenAfterExport:=True, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, _
Range:=wdExportAllDocument, Item:=wdExportDocumentContent
End With
End If
End Sub

Answer 1

Check there are no other content controls with the same title in the document.

Answer 2

I couldn't test your code for lack of data but from your description I guess that the ErrorMessage must be reset with each loop since it will be changed when used and would naturally retain the modified version thereafter.
Except for what follows the loop, I looked closely at your code in order to understand it. Perhaps, the changes I made will be of some use to you.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Create_Click()
Dim Doc As Document
Dim Mandatory() As String
Dim ErrorMessage As String
Dim ErrorCount As Integer
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strFileString As String ' this appears identical with 'Number'
Dim Number As String
Dim Count As Integer ' loop counter
Set Doc = ActiveDocument
Mandatory = Split("A B C D E F G H I")
Number = Doc.SelectContentControlsByTitle(Mandatory(0))(1).Range.Text
For Count = 1 To UBound(Mandatory) + 1
ErrorMessage = "The following mandatory fields are missing: "
With Doc.SelectContentControlsByTitle(Mandatory(Count))(1).Range
MsgBox "Number = " & Number & vbCr & .Text
If .Text = "Click or tap here to enter text." Or _
.Text = "0.00" Then
ErrorMessage = ErrorMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "- " & Mandatory(Count) & " Label"
MsgBox (.Text)
ErrorCount = ErrorCount + 1
End If
End With
If Count = 1 Then Exit For
Next Count
If ErrorCount > 0 Then
MsgBox (ErrorMessage)
Else
strFileString = Number
MsgBox (strFileString)
strFilename = "Some Text Here" & " - " & strFileString & ".pdf"
With Doc
NewPath = .Path & "\" & strFilename
.SaveAs2 FileName:=NewPath, FileFormat:=wdFormatPDF
.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=strFilename, _
ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
OpenAfterExport:=True, _
OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, _
Range:=wdExportAllDocument, _
Item:=wdExportDocumentContent
End With
End If
End Sub
You can have VBA add the useful (some would say necessary) Option Explicit to all new code modules automatically. Select Tools > Options in the VBE window and check "Require Variable Declaration" on the Editor tab.
