Modules & VBA :: Automating Mailmerge From Access Form To Word Document

Aug 5, 2013

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.

Modules & VBA :: Access Mailmerge To Word Including Image

Nov 25, 2014

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....

Modules & VBA :: Mailmerge Current Record And Save As New Document

May 25, 2014

I'm looking to add a button to my Customers form which will mailmerge the current record to a Word template and then save the Word doc as a new file (Ideally the customer's name).

I've looked at the Super Easy Mailmerge but I can't work out how to implement it without all of the variables (selecting documents etc.).

The files will all be saved to one location (C:CustomersExports) and this won't change.

This is also the location of the mailmerge template (C:CustomersExportsTemplate.docx)

Modules & VBA :: Search To Open Word Document From Access

Oct 27, 2014

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.

Security Password - Access To Word Mailmerge

Apr 4, 2007

Dear Guru,

I have an issue which having read some previous threads may not be resolved simply. My database is password protected.

The password (presumably) is preventing the mailmerge from connecting the deata with the template. There is not even a password request shown. Is there any way that this can be overcome. There are a number of mailmerges but all are pulled from the same data query, can i unprotect this query only??

After convincing my boss that the dbase can easily run securely, your help will be very much appreciated.

Yours
Andrew - In sunny Hull, UK.

Embed Interactive Word Document In Access Form

Jan 26, 2015

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.

Modules & VBA :: Word Active Document Not Getting Recognized

Dec 26, 2014

I use the following code to achieve following

a) Open a word document from MS access / VBA,
b) Connect to data from a query
c) mailmerge it
d) Save it as a new document containing mailemerged letters.

The code does open the required document as I can see it open.

I put a message box to recheck that filename/path is what I mean, and to to know till which line the code runs. Code runs till that point and that word doc is seen open. I get the error message before

Then I get error message.

I was fooling around and was getting message " This command is not available because no document is open" I tried to remove few lines thinking redundancy. Before getting the message, I was also getting the error trapping message "No documents opened."

Now I am getting different message.

I am getting message " The remote Server Machine does not Exist or is unavailable"

Following is the code I have written.

Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("word.Application")

xlApp.Visible = True
fn = FormPathName("941 2014 AutoOpen.doc")

[Code] .....

Modules & VBA :: Image In Output To Word Document

Jul 18, 2015

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.

Modules & VBA :: Extract Data From A Word Document

Aug 21, 2014

Not sure if this is possible but I am trying to extract data from a word document to set up a database.

Basically I am trying to capture data from completed forms, similar to the sample attached, the actual blank form is 20 pages long and once completed can be as many as 30 pages, or even more, although the format doesnt change (i.e. individidual cells will expand to fit the data in the cell).

I want to be able to scan through the completed forms and extract the data i.e. Full Study Title, Short Study Title, Study Type etc. into a database.

The issues:
1. Each document will have a different name but will be stored in the same location.
2. What is on page 8, for example, in one document is not necessarity going to be the same on every document (due to expanding cells)
3. Each sector is in a separate table but tables can spread across several pages.
4. Some data is stored in a checkbox format rather than text.
5. I dont want to extract all of the data, only certain sections (at least at this stage).

Modules & VBA :: Background Image In Word Document

Mar 18, 2015

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.

Calling A Word Document From Access

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?

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
