I need to do it either in excel or access. You help is appreciated.
Hello all,
Is there a way that I could put a command button on my form and on clicking it, it would generate a word document (I have a word document saved) but on the word document, it would populate the address field with the information on the form. I have about 5 fields on the form that will be used in the word document.
I thought about creating a report in access instead, but I might want to edit the word document manually, is there a way to do this?
Thanks much.
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 am just contimplating the best way to add word files into my database. I know you can add them as objects, however when they appear on the form they seem a bit 'messy'.
Does anyone have anytips how to make this look more professional, perhaps the use of links, or buttons?
Many thanks in advance, Ross
I cannot import publisher files into word:confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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 have made a form with different records now my goal is to filter those records and export the details of those records to excisting Word files.
So for instance:
Record filtered on:
Title: TrainingsSharepoint
Location: London
Than it wil export the details to --> Doc1.docx
Or
Title: TrainingSale
Location: Berlin
Than it will export the details to --> Doc2.docx
And so one...
The Word files already have some text in them so i want to set up variables to insert the details in the right place.
Folks I need your help; just wanted to get your opinions here.
I work in a small engineering group and we have lots of reference documents in word and excel which we typically use for any projects. Currently, all these files are stored in Lotus Notes database. Unfortunately, they are pulling the plug on Notes license starting this fall. Therefore, I have been asked to see if there is a way we can store these files in Access as a repository and query the database whenever we need some information.
In order to avoid the database size getting too big, my thought was to store the .xls/.doc files as an “OLE object” data type, keep the files in local hard drive and create a link in a form to give the user to retrieve the information.
Do any of you have any suggestion on what is the best way to handle this?
Your input is highly appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoon I'll be starting a new DB which will be used to issue receipts to people who attend courses run by a business. I don't want or need it to be very complicated so was thinking a something like the following;
TblClient (ID,client name & address fields)
TblCourse (ID,Date, course name & Price fields)
Each client will eventually have numerous (many) Course records because they often complete more than one course, over many years.
When I issue clients with Receipts I want each receipt to have a unique receipt number.
On each receipt I will need the Client name, Price paid, date(s) & course name(s) with the unique receipt number. How can I impliment the receipt number?
Special Printer Control Characters
I have created POS application for my business that uses an Epson TM-U220 Series (Type B) receipt printer with tear off. I have formatted a report from my Access db as a receipt, but I need to send the hex string "1B69" in order to activate the paper cutter after the report prints.
How do I do that?
And when I give the print out some unknown characters keep on coming continuously which I had to switch off the printer to abort printing. What do you think is the reason. Is it something to do with the font size?
Please help me......... Im in real trouble
I have a DB with a field named "rec #"
That receipt number is made up of a date,a letter, a 4 digit number and a 3 digit number.
That receipt number might look something like this
01012006P0002001
01012006 date
P letter
0002 4 digit number
001 3 digit number
What I want to do is to split this receipt number into the individual parts and create a field for each part.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks
Hi everyone
I know it's possible to use Access to create a Word document and think it's possible to have a button (or combobox) open a Word document saved on the hard drive. If I'm correct with the second belief, the Word file(s) would need to be moved with the Access database if it's moved to another directory or PC.
Is it possible to save the Word (or other) files within the database itself so simply moving the database to another directory or PC would take the "embedded" files with it? I realise that the database file size will increase, but suspect that this increase would be similar to the size of the individual Word files.
Thanks for your time.
We have an Access database that opened some cash drawers attached to the computer through USB and it is working perfectly. We have some of the cash drawers that are attached to the EPSON Receipt printer and we also want to open those Cash Drawers attached to the receipt printer. Looking for code to open the cash drawer attached to the receipt printer, Is there any command available that I could send to the receipt printer and it would open the Cash Drawer.
I have also taken the screenshot of the utility program that will show the information regarding the printer and I am very expecting to get this working soon as we have build the Microsoft Access database that would checking the cash drawer status and also open the USB cash drawers.

How to match 4 character word or number or combination by identical 4 characters word or number or combination in one word have 10 or 15 characters.
I have to two separate tables (Table A and Table B). Table A has one column (Tag No) and Table B has about 15 columns with one column name Tag No as below
Table A
Table B
Tag No
Tag No
2009
ZZZ-2030-DC
2010
ZZZ-2010-M9P
[code]....
They're both in MS Access.I am trying to match 2 tables - columns (Tag No) with join query, but not success. I want to match 4 characters in Table-A with 4 similar characters in Table-B (Tag No) cell.What query is suitable to compare two tables.
My 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.
Every hour a zip file is created in an FTP folder. The zip file contains an .mdb access database file with any changes to the data since the last hours file.
What is the best method to get access to connect to the content of the zip files and pick up the changes to the data?
I've searched the site and haven't really come up with an answer for this. I have a Report that I want e-mailed to two people every 10 days. If someone could give me a direction to start in, it would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a single table called "Books". One column is "Book title" and one is "Author(s)".
One author may have written several books, and one book may be co-authored by several authors.
It should be ok to use the analyze function to normalize the table into 3 tables. (autors, books and booksauthors_xref)
The problem is that the Authors-column contains one or more autors separated by ;
When I use the analyze function I only get the first autor in the join table. Since authors "AA ; BB" are treated as one, not to entities I had to split the field into a "co-autor" column and manually add one and one co author.
Is it a smarter vay to do the normalization?

Hi,
I have the following very general question, but I hope you can give me a few hints so I can start and find things out on my way.
I just created a database which via VBA procedures runs all kinds of queries and puts the results in tables, for instance I have about 20 tables now with 10 fields each and for every table I want to run the same type of report.
I already made one report for one table via the report wizard, I would like to use the layout of this table for all other tables using a VBA code, so when I run this code it will create all these reports for me.
What is the best way to start?
Many thanks!
