I am using the follow code to import data from a Word form into my MS Access 2010 DB:
Code:
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tmpSIRs", dbOpenDynaset)
With rst
.AddNew
[code]...
On the Word Form, these two fields are drop-downs with three options: blank, No, and Yes. If the users leaves them blank, then Access ignores them--which is what I want. However, if the user says yes or no, Access puts a "-1" in the database. Both the Word form and Access field are text.
I have a database witch includes a continuous form (named frmExport). It could be very useful for me if i can find a way so to export data from access 2007 and then to import them into a word file.
Please note: The access data will be inserted into word table.
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 design a command button on a Form so the user can import the contents of an Excel spreadsheet to an existing Table in Access with the click of a button. But, i'd like the imported data to overwrite the existing data in the Table and not append to it. I've considered using linked tables but apparently you can't set Primary Keys when you do it this way.
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).
I'm doing a project for my work. I created a few reports in Access. Some of these reports are simple graphic bars. How can I insert these reports into a word document template?
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 see 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 want to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I have a fill-in pdf form, with fields that match database table fields. My database is in SQL, but I use Access for the forms and reports.
The users will go on-site (and be offline), fill out the pdf forms a bunch of times and come back with a folder of them.
I am looking for a way to have a form where a user can choose a folder (maybe on an access form) and say "import PDFs" and then have all the data in the PDF forms import to the table. A lot of other stuff has to happen in that process (checking the project number on the form, assigning an ID tag for that item, etc).
Looking for (semi) generic piece of code that knows how to handle (semi) random XML files and structures, preferably creating tables and columns on the fly...
Or some code that will read an XML tree and genericaly will add the data to the tables it can find?
I get XML's from a site and want to import the data to Access. If I use the native import then I get multiple tables and the data is a little jumbled. For instance: I get 1 table with track names and a different table for track numbers with no way to relate the to accurately. I would like to be able to parse out the XML and have it update my table as it goes so I have less "junk" in my DB. I just can't figure out how to call out the XML tag and tell it to copy that info to the correct field.
I am trying to automate the function that imports Infopath (.xml) data into access tables. I can have a button run the MenuCommand, but then the users have to go through all of the prompts and I just don't trust them enough to do it properly.
All I want is the user to click a button, then it lets them browse for the desired file and then imports it.
I have a requirement to create a piece of vba that will open all xlsx files in a folder one at a time then import the data in a range (sheet1!A1:G14) into a table named Weekly Input.
I have a text file that details every single incident that happened in the system. This means that it is extremely messy and non-comprehensible to a normal person due to the use of codewords and all.
Is it possible to scan through the document and insert the data into access, such that the different keywords are put as seperate events?
Ps, the number of characters between each event and data may not always be the same, so seperating them by that is not the way to do it. However, when I open the file in notepad++, I can confirm that each event is 6 lines.
E.g. Line 1 = Event timestamp, Line 2 = Event Name, Line 3 = Acknowledged or not, Line 4 = Acknowledged by who, Line 5 = Event Details, Line 6 = Application Owner.
Basically, the 6 lines are the 6 columns that I would need in my table. So, is it possible to separate out and read every 6 lines of data in the text file?
I've been working on a procedure to step through the recordset and add the data one record at a time so I can get rid of the duplicates.
I've tried a few approaches, but this is where I'm at now.
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rsHH As DAO.Recordset Dim rsPhone As DAO.Recordset Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset Dim rsAddress As DAO.Recordset Dim rsPerson As DAO.Recordset Dim db As DAO.Database Set db = CurrentDb
Thanks to some of the threads here, I have managed to automate inputting form data from a record into bookmarks in a word document template (a letter). What I am trying to do is to lock the letter allowing modification only to the form fields in that template. If the original template is locked (allowing entry only in the fields), the data does not flow through. So I was trying to accomplish this through the "ProtectedForForms" property. However, it does not work. The letter gets locked before the information flows through. Here's the code I am trying to use (borrowed from one of the users here):
Private Sub cmd_letWarn_Click()
' Check for empty fields and unsaved record. If IsNull(occupant) Then MsgBox "Occupant Name cannot be empty" Me.occupant.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
If IsNull(propad_no) Then MsgBox "Building Number cannot be empty" Me.propad_no.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
If IsNull(prop_ZIP) Then MsgBox "ZIP Code cannot be empty" Me.prop_ZIP.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
If Me.Dirty Then If MsgBox("Record has not been saved. " & Chr(13) & _ "Do you want to save it?", vbInformation + vbOKCancel) = vbOK Then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord Else Exit Sub End If End If
' Create a Word document from template. Dim WordApp As Word.Application Dim strTemplateLocation As String
' Specify location of template strTemplateLocation = "T:PlanningPlanningEnforcementLogsuppfiles emp warn.dot"
On Error Resume Next Set WordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If Err.Number <> 0 Then Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") End If On Error GoTo ErrHandler
I have a form with fields that contain the address/postcode etc of the person in question, and I also have a template letter that needs to have said persons address/postcode etc at the sending stage after a button is clicked.
Hi all, Not sure if this is in the right section but heres my question.
How can i gett a button to open a word document and put in specific information. for example. to send a client a letter, the button would open a word doc with the specfic client data in it.
Also a button to start a mail merge with all client records held on the db.
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 a form that I have exported certain fields into a word doc (it is up and running just fine). I created bookmarks in word and put some VBA into my access form, so when I click on 'Create word report' it pops up and automatically populates the record I am on. Here is the tough question,
How to make this work with a continuous form? My main form has several subforms, one being a continuous form. The main form shows one bridge at a time. The sub continuous form shows information for all of the bridges spans (could be anywhere from 1 to 9).
For keeping record of provient fund, I have made a access/(or excel) database with many fields like ID, Name,contribution for months eg March, April,..to..,Feb,etc.It contains 50 records.
Now I have to print the provident fund statements of my 50 friends. This statement consists of some text language and some data(It is a word form letter document).The statement also shows some data which has to be calculated from the data of database eg grand total, cumulative total, interests etc.
Now I want to print the statement for all or selected no of people. What I want is to make the statement proforma in another excel sheet and then merge and print the statements for selected no of persons eg for ID 1 to 20, 50 to 70 etc. I do not want to make statement in MS word and do not want to merge it there, but I want to do it in excel just as we do in MS word mail merge.
Pl help me how can I do it in access/Excel? Can i calculate in word or should I calculate before hand in access before merging data?
I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate() Dim strFile As String 'Filename's Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
Hi guys, Iīm a unexperienced user of access and itīs my first post in this forum. Hope to make myself clear.
I have several tables. My problem is rather simple but I didnīt find out to solve it. I searched on the forum but didnīt find it. I might not have the appropriate vocabulary yet to perform an efficient search.
My problem is that I have a form to fill a sales table (Salg). For each entry I need to fill the postnumber and the location. On another table (Poststed) is registered the Postnumber and the location name. On the form I did a combobox to get the post numbers. Then to get the location, In another box, which should come automatically after the "Postnr" has been selected, it should display the "location name". I did a "DLOOKUP" for that:
and it works fine. The name come automatically. However, when I validate the "post" then all the data in the boxes are register in the destination table, but not the "location nam". It seems it is not bound to the table because the DLOOKUP function is in the source field. Does anybody knows how I can bound it to the table. Or if I should use another way to do the task, Iīm open to any suggetions. I hope I made myself clear enough.
