    Word Form to Excel

    Hello everyone,

    I am working on a way that we can get word forms to that employees fill out to be extracted to excel. So far i have VBA code that will search through a specific folder of word forms and get the data to an excel spreadsheet.
    I am in need of a way to get it to update the data when i click my excel spreadsheet button with the code in it and not replace it each time. As well as get the code i have right now to look for a specific folder and not just make my manually do it. I will post the code below.

    Sub GetFormData() 'Note: this code requires a reference to the Word object model
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim wdApp As New Word.Application
    Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
    ' Dim CCtrl As Word.ContentControl
    Dim FmFld As Word.FormField
    Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String
    Dim WkSht As Worksheet, i As Long, j As Long
    strFolder = GetFolder
    If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
    Set WkSht = ActiveSheet
    i = WkSht.Cells(WkSht.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
    While strFile <> ""
    i = i + 1
    Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(Filename:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
    With wdDoc
    j = 0
    ' For Each CCtrl In .ContentControls
    For Each FmFld In .FormFields
    j = j + 1
    ' WkSht.Cells(i, j) = CCtrl.Range.Text
    WkSht.Cells(i, j) = FmFld.Result


    Next
    End With
    wdDoc.Close SaveChanges:=False
    strFile = Dir()
    Wend
    wdApp.Quit
    Set wdDoc = Nothing: Set wdApp = Nothing: Set WkSht = Nothing
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub

    Function GetFolder() As String
    Dim oFolder As Object
    GetFolder = ""
    Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
    If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
    Set oFolder = Nothing
    End Function
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
