I need to be able to embed an interactive word document in an access form. The need is to put in text that has underlines and strikethroughs to indicate name changes to policies.
The user creates a new proposed update by designating the policy number but I need a word file attached to this update that can show more punctuation than access can show.
Of course I want to make this as automated as possible so the user doesn't have to work in two different places to get this done.

How is it possible to open a form letter word docment from an Access form in which information on the form (such as name and address) is used in the letter?
I am having the strangest results with my automated mailmerge. Basically it does work, but not all the time. The basic idea is to allow the user to dynamically create a query that produces a result list which fills a temporary table. The use then selects a prebuilt merge template and merge is executed against the temp table. The merge template are of the .doc type, but sme have been converted to .docx; the .doc files tend to work most often, but all of the will eventually get a Table is locked message... However if I run in test mode with code breaks and manually step through the process it always works... here is the heart of the code ...
Err_Pos = 10
Code: DoCmd.SetWarnings False ' if tmp tbl left over from last run kill it DoCmd.RunSQL "Drop table Word_Merge_Tmp_TBL" Err_Pos = 12
[Code].....
There are many error cases in the error catch routine. That I have managed to make Access stop hanging when word has a problem or the table is locked. But I can't get the table to be free consistantly and why does it always work when I manually step through the code.
I have an access form that fills an access table (MS Access 2003). Also, I have a Word (2010) document/template with some template text and empty fields which should be filled with data from access. Is it possible to insert a button in access form which would open a word document and populate appropriate fields with data from that form?
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!
When I click a button, I am creating a table for a mailmerge and then calling the document that merge is in so I can write letters.
Everything works properly except the line for calling a document. I've messed with it in several ways but right now it tells me I need an equal sign. Can someone who actually knows VB (I'm just pretending! ) look at this and tell me what might be wrong?

Apologies ... but I am quite new to Access. My database contains about 1000 peoples' addresses.
The problem I have is that I need to merge, say, 20 of these addresses into a word document. In the word document I can select records using the "Surname" field but it will not give me the option to select more than 6. I am sure there must be a way that I can select more than 6: I have tried separating the surnames with a "," or "or" but nothing seems to work!
I want to create a new word doc, do a saveas to a specific path and file name, allow the user to edit the new doc, and then close it and return to the Access app. I can create the doc but Word opens without opening the New Savedas Doc. using this code
Dim oApp As Word.Application Dim WordDoc As Word.Document Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set WordDoc = CreateObject("Word.document") oApp.Visible = True WordDoc.SaveAs ("TS-" & Me.Scriptnum & ".Doc")
Is it possible to link a field in Access to a footer in Word?
I have a field in Access that would look like the following;
G10E-PRO-001RevA
Additional data in access would have the document name, and revision, matching 2 lines of text in Word. I would like the footer in the document to be the above sample, which I assume could be a query that need to run to match the 2 fields of information.... not really sure if this is even possible?
I was tasked to create an application where by the user enters keywords into an Access form, and when he clicks the button, it will run the keywords against the file names stored in the table and automatically open the Word document that is the best match.
I have created a table query called Directory, which contains FPath (Z:), FName (Document1.doc) and Directory (Z:Document1.doc).
Code: Private Sub Command2_Click() Dim wrdApp As Word.Application Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document Dim filepath As String Dim strSearch As String
If IsNull(Me.txtSearch) Or Me.txtSearch = "" Then MsgBox "Please type in your search keyword.", vbOKOnly, "Keyword Needed"
[Code] ....
This is the code that I am currently using to search and open the Word documents, however, this code only manages to open Microsoft Word program without loading any documents. Also, there are no error messages when I click the submit button.
Hi I have a form (Quotation) and i would like when i press a command box to save it as a word document. I tried that with a command box and with a macro using OutputTo Action. I can save the Form But i can not have a proper understandable format. How this is possible?
My aim is to save it as .rtf for example, and attached to the customer mail.
I am creating a database. I have all my forms, queries, tables, reports just as I need them. However, I would like to have a command button on my switchboard that will pull from a query to feed to a Word document (that's actually a letter on my company letterhead). I know a Macro has to be involved with this, but again, I have little to no knowledge of Macros. Also, I would like to be prompted to enter a client ID number when I click on this command button (because I only want to print a letter for a new client, not all of them).
I have completed a form that I am ready to put into production. I want to include a couple help documents with the database. There are two word documents that are stored as OLE objects in a table. I normally wouldn't include OLE objects like this because I would want to keep the DB size down, but there should only be 2-3 small word documents What needs to happen: click a button on a form and have the correct word document open.
The tbl they are stored in is called tblAddins. Two columns thus far, named: ID (autonumber primary key) file (OLE)
The only thing that the wizard (wish i didn't need to use it) gives me for Word is to open the application itself.
Thanks in advance to the great minds of this forum for any help.
I want to have information on a form tab. Is it possible to insert a Word document in the tab? This will consist of a set of instructions for the user.
I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.
I have created a form with 9 cascading combo boxes. There are 59 total results or scenarios (which are based upon the completion of the form and these 9 combo boxes). Currently, upon completion of the form and the 9 combo boxes, a text box displays the singular result/scenario.
Here's my question: Rather than utilizing a text box to display the result/scenario, is it possible to output a PDF or Word document? If so, is there a general VBA code for this that I could manipulate?
copying all the contents/text from word document and pasted that in the Memo Field, I have a Recruitment database where I have 02 fields on is CV Path (Text Field) that stores the CV Path (Word Document Path) and another text box content (Memo Field) where I would like to copy all the data from the word document to the Content text box (Memo) field.
I have put a Command button on the form...the code to "Copy the content/text" from [CV Path] word document and add it to the "Memo" field.
I'm trying to add the information from a form and subforms to a report. This would be a medication mar sheet and needs to be in the format of the attached word document. I'm happy to do it in a report and change the formatting if that will work better. The personal info needs to go at the top and the medication needs to be listed on each sheet.
The form is called FrmMarSheet. It basically needs the info from that like the "sample mar sheet.doc". I can only get one medication per page to work at the moment.
I would like to open a Word document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form. I use the following code when I want to open a single specific document...
Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document On Error Resume Next Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If Err.Number <> 0 Then 'Word isn't already running Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") End If On Error GoTo 0 Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(File path here) wdApp.Visible = True
...but in this case the file path I want to use will be designated by a field on the form. I know I could just use a hyperlink but I don't like the way it looks on the form. I would rather hide that field and have code pull that path when I hit the button.
So how would I change my code to make it so the value in the file path field on the form goes in where it says "File path here" in my code above?
I am new to ACCESS, I have some experience with SQL, VBA and RDBD having been trained by ORACLE
The attached tables come from a RB I am making, I can run the SQL and it works, I have failed to create form or report tha enables users to simple use a button to invoke that code.
Several people have sent answers but I have not made them work, the tutorials that I have looked do not explain with simple examples that I can follow.
I am trying to open a word document with corresponding data filled from the text field of a form. I managed to get the word document but I don't know how to give a variable in word document.
