Is one better than the other to get information into Word Documents
Using access to control word and use mail merge (can I set up the data source for the word document from access...how?)
-or-
Using access, fill in bookmarks created in Word
I have about 30 word documents from a real estate company that they want data from the database merged into the word documents. Too much formating in the word documents to use access report. Any suggestions?
Hi,
This is my First post - so please be kind. I'm quite new at coding things and have learnt almost every thing from this forum so far by search old posts but can't find the answer to the below. I know how frustrating it must be to answer the same question over and over again so if this has been answered before please accept my appologies and if you could direct me to the old post I'll pick it up from there.
I have managed to get my DB to output to Excel using the below code:
Set Xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Xl.Visible = True
Xl.Workbooks.Open ("C:TEMPPACLPACL - Blank") ',,True
Xl.range("C8").Value = [Text78]
Xl.range("C9").Value = [tender name]
Xl.range("C10").Value = [Request Number]
Xl.range("F10").Value = [Accepted offer]
Xl.range("C14").Value = [Site Status]
Xl.range("C16").Value = [Accepted offer SPO]
Xl.range("C17").Value = [Type]
Xl.range("C19").Value = [Mpan]
Xl.range("C20").Value = [HH MOP]
Xl.range("C32").Value = [Payment Terms]
Xl.range("C13").Value = [No of sites]
Xl.range("C4").Value = [Text173]
Xl.range("A47").Value = [Additional comments]
I now need to do the same for word;
I have managed:
Dim oApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
oApp.Documents.Open ("C:TEMPQuatation") ',,True
but I have no idea how to get the info held in field [tender name] in my database into the Ln 5, col 10 in my word document.
I hope this makes sense, any help will be greatly received as I am very new at this and very eager to learn.
Okay, m sorry to bring this topic up again!
I have created this command button from tools that output the access report into word file. However, it prints all the record into word file, is there a way that it would print one record or selective record at a time. I mean, lets just say if I am on record 3 after I am done I press the button and I don't want it to output 1 to 3 record just the 3rd one. Is it possible to do it like that or not?
Hey all! :cool:
I have a question to ask you all. This has been killing :( me I have not been able to find an answer. :confused:
Lets say I have a form open. In this form, there are text boxes that have a persons name, address, an account number, and phone number. This part is the easy part.
Now, what I would like to do is some how when you click on the account number, (it doesn't have to be a link) it will open up another form that shows available Word Documents for only that account number.
Different account numbers will have different Word Documents available to them. When this new form opens, then the user can pick a Word Document that is available to them.
Please help! Your help would mean a lot! :)
Hi does anybody know if there is a way to import data from a word
template to fields in an access database? any help will be greatly appreciated!
thanks, Treasa
I have given up on doing this since I am obviously stupid, but I have a word document that has most things static and about 6 fields that are dynamic. I would like to develop a small GUI in access that the user can input the data into the fields and then click the print cmdbutton that I create and it will open the Word doc, fill the fields that need filled, then print the form.
I tried a mail merge, but I really need this to be a seamless process.
If I use a report in Access, will it hold Word formatting?
These are legal documents that are being printed out.
I wanted to do it with some type of web based app, but my web server is Windows and not Unix so I cannot use CGI.
Any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and it's my first post, any help is greatly appreciated.
I have just been given a big project of firstly transferring information we hold in word documents over to Ms Access and then using ASP or .NET I got to make this a searchable, more user friendly web page displaying the information from the database.
I have tried searching on the web but have not found anything that can transfer information from a table in a word document to a table in Ms Access, does anyone know of anything out there that allows this to be done without losing any data in the transfer?
I have tried saving the document as a text file and importing it into Access but it did not transfer the data across correctly.
Hi there, I am doing a project for my A level computing, and for my mum's financial advising.
I am to assume no knowledge of computing on her part, and so i cannot make it up to the end user to know how to mailmerge.
I was wondering if you could help.
I can have it in a query, form or table form, whichever is best for this, but i need to be able to make a button which exports a record into a MS word mailmerge. This is just to make a simple letterhead. I need a button that says " Write to client ", and once it is clicked it needs to open a letter addressed to them. This is my problem. I have noticed when the data is in a report, there is an export to MS Word button, which is very close to what i want as i could use that and get a good enough mailmerge, but is there a way to run this from a macro or using VB? I did VB last year for my computing project and so i understand a fair amount of it. I want to just make one word document, which will open as mailmerged with the clients data.
Please help if you can, I am sure it is possible as i can see you can mailmerge from access, and there is even a button to do it.... kind of, i just need to be able to make my own.
Thankyou so much for your help.
Steve
( Microsoft Access 2003 )
I have an Access 2007 Database, containing Dues records for a Membership type application. Each Month I produce a Newsletter vis Publisher 2007, which ends up in PDF format. e-mail Address information is in Outlook 2007, snail mail adress info is in Access.
I want to be able to send an e-mail (Merge ??) to all those who have e-mail, with the Newsletter as an attachment, and with the Dues data in the body of individual e-mails (Merge ??). As the data resides in a number of applications, can someone point me in the direction I should take to achieve this.

Howdy folks,
I have a rather large form that I created in Access. It is mainly a travel reimbursement form. It has numerous drop down fields for travelers, dates, etc.
My problem is, how do I email it? I would like for the receiver to see the "printable version". When I try and export it currently, I don't have the ability to send it that way. I can send it as an Excel document, but when I view it, it is about 10 pages wide.
Is there any easy way to make the screen view visible to the receiver?
Any help would be appreciated as my company is opening a satellite office and our administrative assistants will need to get these forms.
Thanks
I have a word doc which i can open from Access but i need advice on something i would like to try out.
I have a form with a patients name and i can scroll through the table through here(on the form using nav buttons) as well and see other patients information. What i'm trying to do is according to whoever is on the form when they click on the button to open the word doc i want the patients name to appear on the word doc.
I guess it's like a Mail merge but i want the data to be pulled from the form like the patients name and address and i want this information to go onto the Word Doc. Any ideas on how to do this.
Access 2003 and Word 2003.
Thanks in advance,

I use code like the following to build a Word doc from data from multiple
linked tables:
Public Sub Build_Word_Doc()
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Set wrdApp = New Word.Application
Set wrdDoc = New Word.Document
wrdDoc.Activate
wrdDoc.Select
....
{code to build and save doc}
End Sub
If the user does NOT have an instance of Word open when the code runs,
everything processes as desired. If, however, they had Word open when
this code executes, they receive an error and there is a "phantom"
WINWORD.EXE left in Task Manager.
Is there a good way to check for the presence of an active Word doc before
running this code, or any other suggestions to avoid the situation I described?
Any help would be appreciated, 'cause my users look at me cross-eyed when
I tell them they have to close all Word docs before using my application.
Thanks!
Dear All:
I am currently printing a letter from access to word using a command button. So far, so good.
However, I wish to add the person's name on the letter who I am currently viewing on the form. The name of the fields on the form is called "FULL NAME".
Here is the code I am using to print the letter from Access:
Private Sub PrintLetter_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PrintLetter_Click
Dim oApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
Set appWord = New Word.Application
' The path/name of the Word document goes here
Set wdDoc = appWord.Documents.Open("C:documents and settingsuserdesktopEXPRESS DIPLOMA LETTER.doc")
wdDoc.PrintOut (False)
wdDoc.Close (False)
appWord.Quit
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Set appWord = Nothing
Exit_PrintLetter_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_PrintLetter_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_PrintLetter_Click
End Sub
Any help is appreciated.

Hi folks, can anyone assist me with my dillema, I am trying to merge records selected by the user from my Access database to word. Does anyone know of any VB code that I could use? Steve
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a word doc that is built by code. at the end, after the doc is completely built, i save the doc and kill my word object. what i want to do is be able to launch the doc automatically for the user, but still be able to kill the code object used to create the doc. what i currently have, which obviously doesn't open the doc, is as follows:
Code:wrd.ActiveDocument.SaveAs sOutputDir & sHeader & ".doc"wrd.ActiveDocument.Closewrd.QuitSet wrd = Nothing
i can't figure out how to get word to open with my doc. i'm sure i'm overlooking something simple, but does anyone have ideas for me on this?
Can anyone help me with the following code?
If I reboot my machine, open the Db and run the wordmerge, A WORD msg pop up with "Do you want to save the changes to letters1?" with a Y/N, cancel option. If I chose yes and then cancel, the word document will open and the code runs ok but, I am not sure that this is good practice as it leads to confussion. I am also trying to eliminate the msg that explains to user that they are about to merge from access to word. I think it will just confuse the user even more. However, If there is no work around, then I will have to live with that. The post has been up for a while but I have had no reponse todate.
Very greatful for any assistance, Cheers, Steve

I have an Access spreadsheet that I can't get to merge with a word document. It freezes up every time I try and the only message I get is overflow. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code:
Dim wDoc As Word.Document
Dim wTable As Word.Table
Dim wCell As Word.Cell
Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc)
wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.
i have a form and was wondering if it was possible to take some of the fields and drop them into a template word document from inside access. so as to create a button that when clicked opens up the template and transferes the wanted form data.
any idears how to automate this process would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance john
I am building a database for my job. I am trying to find a way that I can mail merge an Image that store in Access to a Word document. I tried doing it by creating a field in Access for the picture and its field type was set to OLE Object and I placed the merge field in its appropriate area in Word. When I go to merge it, its comes up with a message that says "Long Integer or Binary Number". If anyone has an idea as to how I can make this happen....please let me know, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I am creating a database for someone which includes a mail merged document with some data from the database.
Is it possible to allow the user to open the document by clicking on a button that will be on the Switchboard in the database, so that they do not have manually open the document?
Hope this makes sense!
