Merging Word Document With Access Query
Feb 7, 2006
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!
Help, please!
Thank you,
Emma

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 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

Hello All,
I need some assistance.
First a little background on the database:
The back end is in AQL the front end is in Access.
The main form is called the "Register", here they enter claim information and if they need to create a printed loss they click on a button called "Loss Notice" This brings up another form which is filtered based on the claim number in the Register. Here they fill in additional information. On this form they have the option to print the Loss Notices by clicking on a button that Opens up Microsoft Word and all the fields are mapped to the Word Template where they need to be.
On my computer when I set this up it works great. I test it all the time and works perfectly.
However when the users try to do this from their computer they are getting a pop up box asking for the claim number. The Loss form is filtered and should only pull that claim number.
Why are they getting this pop up box and I am not?
If you need any additional information I will try and give that to you.
Thanks for trying to help!

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?
Shell("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10WINWORD.EXE", "\documentsOfficesJudicial & Court ServicesJudicial CollegeShared Project FoldersTemplatesLetters & AccessoriesConf Letter Mail Merge.doc")
Thanks!

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

Hello all,
In our company we send off a lot of reports for a given sample. Sometimes the office folks need to do a specialized report with tables and other formatting. They would like to be able to a: be able to have another report where they could just write stuff, comments, etc about the sample and b: be able to import these word documents that have the tables and other formatting. If we could not use word at all that would be great but I don't think there is a way to do the formatting necessary in access. So my question is: how do I import a word document and have it displayed in a form and then print on the report. I would like to store the whole document in one field in a table. (is this at all possible?) I have searched this forum and haven't found what I'm looking for. Thank you for any help.

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 have the following button on a form:
When I press it a mail is being send with a snapshot attached to it
Instead of a snapshot I want it to attach it as a word document.
Here you see the code that is used. I noticed it says snapshot format on a line but I don't know what the name is for a word document.
Code:Private Sub cmdMail_Click()On Error GoTo Err_cmdMail_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim V_EmailAdres As String If Not (IsNull(Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value)) And Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value <> "" Then V_EmailAdres = Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value Else V_EmailAdres = "" End If stDocName = "TransportOrder" DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName, "Snapshot Format", V_EmailAdres, , , "Transport Order BP", ""Exit_cmdMail_Click: Exit SubErr_cmdMail_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdMail_Click End Sub
Thanks in advance
