Hi all,
i need help regarding linking Access to various Word documents.:confused:
the task consists in choosing a particular Country, Year and Month from Combo Boxes and then view the related reports in Word.
for example : United Kingdom, 2006, January
more than one report can be related to a particular country.
is there a way this can be done? (maybe through the use of LookUp for the folder path?!)
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks.
Hi. I have been asked to find out if it is possible to automatically insert info from a access database into some word documents that require the same info i.e. a title or reference number so that, for example, if the title is changed in the database it will automatically change in the associated word documents.
Is this even possible as I have no idea or can something similar be done?
Thanks for any ideas!
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 all,
Sorry but I'm really new to Access and trying to make sense of all the useful advice on here!
I'm trying to programme a button in one of my forms to open up a word document as read-only. I've written the code to open up the Word application (before I found the button which did it for me! :( ) but I think I need to add one or two more lines so that word knows where the document is I want and opens it up - any ideas what these lines are?
Real sorry for the trouble - any help would be most appreciated! Thanks guys and girls.
I have a database with hyperlinks to open word documents on my network. If someone else has that word document open it will ask me if I want to notify or open in read only. However since upgrading to Access 2013, (from Access 2003), this sometimes freezes the database.
I am wandering is there a way to tell Access (or Word) to open the document in read only if there is someone using it already?
I am attempting to create a database where I can input a number that will display a word document, and pdf's, and be able to toggle through them. I have all the data compiled. I just need to present it in some type of a front.

I have started wonder if it would be better to store them in a table and call them from there to keep things together.
Hi,
My situation:
A front end written in Access (back end mySQL).
I have made a .mde file out of this front end.
There are a number of MS Word documents used (as merge documents) for running reports and letters that are linked to queries in the database. However, I can only link these documents to the original .MDB file as you can't link to the queries ni the .mde file.
This works fine until you have a query that requires a parameter from a form. The user will have selected the parameter from the .mde version of the front end that they are using but the query which is being called from the .mdb version (by the Word merge document) can't see this parameter because it is a totally separate database.
How can I get around this problem?
Sorry this is a lengthy post, hope it makes sense.

I created a form with a ListBox and a Command Button. The users selects the values in the listbox and then click the button to create word documents. I've written VBA code to accomplish this. But it's not working properly. It opens multiple word documents but all for the same one.
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Dim appWord As Object
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strPathToTemplateFile As String
Dim strPathToProspectiveFile As String
Dim strPreferredFileName As String
For Each varItem In Me.List0.ItemsSelected

Hello Access People,
I am sure this has been answered but i can not find it after searching all day.
I have a main form called "Main Form", then a sub form call "DPriority Assessment" on the main form i use this to filter the results, of only the data for one report shows and the results follow all works this far.
I am using a button to export the results from my sub form in to a word document, the data is copy over ok, but the page setup keeps changing from A4 to Letter, and the page changes from Landscape back to portrait, i have checked my printer setting and the setting in both word and access all looks fine.
I am not sure if some kind of code is need but i am not sure were or how to go about this. If anybody has any ideas i would be grate full or examples would be better.
Kind Regards

I'd like to export only email addresses separated by ";" to a word document based on a result of a query.
Query gets build dynamically in VB behind the form as there are many search criterias. so user can eneter one field or many in the form to build the query. Queries work and i can extract and display the email in a report or another form, but now i'd like to export it to a word document or outlook (but i would prefer word).
Can anyone please give me advice how i should approch this issue.
Thank you.
I have a Word template that I require my data to be exported to. Is there a way to import a .docx into a report design?

I am new to the scene, please forgive me if my question or language seems silly
I have this Access 2000 database filled with over 1500 records of people
I need to send these people letters based on their age and gender
I guess I would normally do the gender thing with a mergefield in Word, it'll simply create "Madam" or "Sir" upon an if...then instruction on genderdata in the database. The problem is, there's not two, but there's three options! I'll explain below.
The first option is for kids < 12 y
The second option is for kids > 12 but < 18 AND their parents
The third option is for adults (>18)
So, in fact there's three letters.
Now, what I need a code -or at least the concept- that will tell the database to select and open the right letter by pressing a button in a form.
I can of course make three hyperlinks in the form, one for each letter, and let the user choose, but that's not too fancy is it?
I want the database to make the choice. So, I guess in normal language the instruction needs to select the current record, analyse the age (date-dob) and, depending on the result of that calcultion, it needs to open the correct document in Word.
But here's the point: I'm quite unfamiliar with VBA code
But maybe even a conceptual answer might help!
Thanks in advance!

Exporting data from a table or query, into Word 2010?
I've googled the crap out of it and the only thing I can find is mail merge...which as far as I can tell is used for creating letters and mailling lables or emails.
What I would like to do is click a command button on an invoice which would export company name, province and date, into an existing word template, save it as a new filename, and then close.
What I wanted to do was try and import from 5 excel sheets into one table and merge them into 1 record.
E.g. I have pupils with test results for maths, English and ICT.
I have 3 spreadsheets called Maths, English and ICT and I wanted to merge them into the test results table all under that specific pupil.
Also I've been searching how to create an import button on my form as I have locked all the ribbons but can't find a simple way, and especially if I want the user to specify the file path.
I need to be able to scan documents into individual records in access and I was wondering if this could be done.
