I have an intermediate level experience in access.I am a private investigator and have created a beautiful access database to manage my case intakes, case progress, investigators, clients 8nvoices, expenses and a whole much more for my business.
I have integrated word merge in my database to generate final reports etc.
how can i merge an image that is attached to a record to word?
Basically i create a new case and input all pertinate information for that specific case and in that case I add an image of the subject, google maps for the residence and other images such as facebook screenshots etc.. and what i want to do is when I merge the case with word to also have a page in word to include this images.
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection ◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID. ◦User selects single .dotm file for merge ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number ◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge ◦User selects SUBMIT ◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID ◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
I have a access database with 125 names and addresses and need to merge and send out the a doc for each one. Does anyone have experience with the multiple factor of this process. I can merge one but then have to repeat several times.
I want to use an Access Table for a mail merge but when i try to use the merge option I get a pop up asking for a password. I put in my administrator password for the database and it tells me I dont have acess to the database. It has something to do with the passwords i put on the database.
Anyone have any ideas to what I need to do to get this to work?
I am preparing a Word document for a mail shot, and need to import data from my access file. I am trying to build a formula that will take a field from the Access file and, if it is true, print some data.
So far, I have =IF(Schedule 2014=40,full page). Schedule 2014 is a column in the query I am using in this mail merge, 40 is an amount of money in that column and full page is the text that should appear in the Word document. The result I am getting is!Syntax Error, 2014 .
The remainder of the information I am merging is working well. I am asking for the 40 to appear in the relevant recipient's letter which is fine, but I want it to print full page before it (or half page for 30, or quarter page for 20)
I am wanting to do away with access 97 on a few computers here at work but we cant afford to buy everyone office 2003. Before I buy us access 2003 for a computer I need to know if word 97 will do a mail merge with access 2003. Or could I just buy Office 2003 package for the few computers and it will work that way for a bit more money. I think there would be a compatability issue...
I have written an application which uses a query for the current record and then opens a Word document, merges this record and shows the merged document for the user.
all works fine using Office 2003 - when i try it on a pc with Office 2002 - it diesn't work. Something is happening - WINWORD.EXE is running on the process list. But the document doesn't open. I have added the Microsoft Office 10 Office Library to the references but still no joy.
It's a killer - all testing was done on Office 2003 and now a key user wants to use the app - on 2002 and it doesn't work
I have done several mail merges where you open Microsoft Word, select your data (inthis case a query from access) and them use mail merge to create the documents.
However, i need to do it the other way. I have a project in access where the user will be in access and need to do a mail merge to word, so i want the data to be sent from access to word while they are still in access, if that makes sense.
If there are any good turorials that ppl know about or what i could be looking for in order to achieve this then i would be very grateful to all who reply!!
I am trying to create a button which will merge data from specific fields from the active record in my impounded dog table/form into a pre-existing word template. I have the table & form set but am only trying to merge a few of the fields in the table. Things like the Impound ID (Primary Key), Time, Date, & Location of Seizure, Dog Breed, Colour, Markings, Age, Sex, & Collar.How would I put this in a macro or is it even possible to fit in a macro?
I have a database of film events, for which i have to do posters.
With the click of a button on a form, access opens word and puts all the fields in, including a field called [photo], which is the name of the image stored outside of the database.
Is there a way of getting that image into the word Document with all the other fields? Or have I just wasted an afternoon....

Im having a problem getting this code to work. It is meant to fire up Word (which it does), open up a new doc based on the template (which it also does) and then populate a field in the doc with data from the query table (which it doesn't).
I've put the fields in the Word doc via firstly, defining them as Custom Document Properties in the File, Properties box, and then as "{ DOCPROPERTY "<fieldname>" *MERGEFORMAT }" codes in the text.
The field in the Word doc is type 'text' and the field in Access is type 'text', so I am stumped by the "Type Mismatch" error it gives when attempting to get/open the recordset. It hasnt even got to transferring the values across to the doc.?
Ive not done this before (Access newbie) and even found creating the custom fields in Word not as straighforward as I expected!
Please can someone help?

I am using merge in Word to import a calculation from an Access query. The query calculation displays to 2 decimal points by setting format and decimal places - no problem here. In the Word merge field, the calculation is displayed to about 15 decimal places. I only want two decimal places. Any ideas?
I wonder if there is a way to link two tables or queries to a word doc for mail merge. I have an investigative memo and many findings associated with it. They all in Access for record keeping. Now I want to merge the main memo with all findings into a word document. The trick part is that the memo is also different so I cannot have a uniformed letter pre-defined in word. The content of memo is coming from Access too. I don't know if there is a way to do it or simply have two independent mail merges and combine two words doc in one (how?, hate to copy and paste).
I am creating a form that merges data in text fields to a word document using the bookmark method. For one part of the form i need to browse for images and then insert them into a word document. Is there any way i could create a subform that will store multiple image pathways and then merge the images to a word document using a command button.
I have the below code behind a button to merge and print into MSWord and it's working wonderfully. However, how can I modify it to print 1 copy of page one, TWO copies of page 2 and one copy of page 3?

We need to replicate an Access report we have in Microsoft Word. The report has a fixed, small image in the header and so we embedded it in the report (it is not in an external file). To put this image in the Word document the only way we have come up with is shown in the code below.
Code: Dim apWord As Word.Application Dim doc As Word.Document Set apWord = CreateObject("Word.application") doc.Shapes.AddPicture "G:ImagesSinful Banner.bmp", False, True, 0, 0, 540, 42
Which requires an external image file. We really would like to avoid this. We could make a template Word document, but that too would be an external file. We know how to put this image in a table as an OLE object, but can't find any way to get it from the table into the Word document.
If I use the word template named "ABC.dot" as attached and write the following piece of code to print off the letters with different appropriate background , it works perfectly fine:
Code: Sub PrintLetters() Application.DisplayAlerts = False Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim r As Long Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
[Code] ....
But if I combine two templates together in one template as attached "Capita.dot" then it doesn't display background picture at all in any of the cases. I am using the same piece of code but the background image is not displaying. The background image shows logos for each letter like For capita letters , the logo will be capita . For Friends Life letters the logo background will be different.
I have created a rather large data entry form for one of our departments which will be used to run a mail merge document. The merge is run off of a query of the form, rather than the tables themselves...I think that is what I've read is the right thing to do?
Anyways, most of it is working great so far but I've run into an issue where a few of the form fields are combo boxes. In access and in the query the data looks correct, but when you look at it in word (in edit recipient list) and after the merge, it will have a file path name instead.
So a combo box that has "Medical Plans and Visual Plans" in that field in the query, comes over saying "c:Users ameAppData
Ex: New Hires are provided information about Medical Plans and Visual Plans. Ex: New Hires are provided information about MeC:UsersbrooksAppData
It always shows the first two letters before putting the filepath name in there.
I have tried doing it multiple ways...a lookup to another table, lookup right in the field itself....get the same results.
I have produced a A2k db for distribution to others. Part of the db is a function that links to some word docs via hyperlinks. The word docs have been set up as mail merge docs to a table in the db.
When used in Office 2000 this function is faultless but when installed on a computer running Office 2003 they sometimes get a problem when they open the doc in that the mail merge toolbar is greyed out. It seems as if the doc can't find the db. Has anyone else experienced this problem and know of any fix that can be applied.
I have searched the MS Knowledge base and this forum to no avail, although the MS KB did have references to similar problems (not a direct comparison of the problem) that required a service pack download to fix.
Before I tell someone to download a service pack I need to eliminate any other problem that may be causing it.
I am new to Access. I am a speech therapist and am building a database to keep up with my student's progress. I have set up the database satisfactorily (if rudimentarily, at this point), but am now trying to merge the data to a form on a MS word document that we use to file medicaid. Most of my tables and queries have one to many relationships because each student has several goals and in each therapy session we usually work on more than goal. On the medicaid form the information is organized by date. The only way I can envision to get the data to merge to the medicaid form is to use as the source a table or query where there is a single record for each date. But all the tables and queries I have figured out to build so far have multiple records with the same date, if we worked on more than goal in that session. (i.e. there is one record per each separate goal). For example, if you are visual like me.......
This is what I've got:
[date 1] [goal 1] [percentage for goal 1] [date 1] [goal 2] [percentage for goal 2] [date 1] [goal 3] [percentage for goal 3]
but this is what I need:
[date 1] [goal 1] [percentage for goal 1] [goal 2] [percentage for goal 2] [goal 3] [percentage for goal 3]
Is there any way to run a query that will reorganize the data in this way? I thought for a minute that a crosstab query would do it, but I don't need to perform a calculation, I just need to reorganize the way the data is displayed. .....perhaps something with a pivotform??? I haven't figured those out yet.
If I have a link setup from an access 2010 table to a word 2010 document, is there a way to export the hyperlink address in the table to word as an executable link. Rather than having to insert the link manually as a hyperlink.
