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 have an Access spreadsheet that I can't get to merge with a word document. It freezes up every time I try and the only message I get is overflow. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
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.
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!
I have created a database of information which contains fields with Yes/No tick boxes. No problems there. When mail merging into Word the ticks are not formatted correctly. All I get instead are random symbols. All the other data merges successfully.
Can anyone help as I need to see ticks in the merged document?
this table is from another db. Notice how WarehouseNum is '9' instead of '1' and itemNum is '000'. This is just one of many impediments I face. As well, none of the table fields are the same, I changed them here to make it easier to work with.
The goal here is to query the two simultaneously, perhaps with linked tables, type in an ItemNum using a parameter and know for instance that on the 26th, we received 250 item31 and shipped 200 for a remaining balance of 50. The 50 is what I'm after. Basically, my company uses one program for sales and another for purchasing and absolutely nothing for inventory management. I started with this company about 3 weeks ago and unless i can implement some kind of temporary solution, it will drive me insane.
Advice? Best approach? As well, this db will use data on two different servers Thanks for the help. As well, my access experience is limited and our company I.T. is seriously backlogged, besides which, I would like to learn how to do this myself. Thanks again
I have 3 Dell laptops with data that was used in registrating participants for a conference (names, address, position title, email, and amount paid). Is there a way to combine the data from each computer to make one database? Please provide step by step instructions?
I really never use Access but a client gave me a database with a couple thousand records in it. Two columns were "Area Code" and "Home Number". What I have to do is merge those two so that the area code and number appear in a single column. How do I do this?
Say you have multiple excel sheets where forecasting is done daily.
For example, sheet one headings: Depot, department, location, 01/09/10, 02/09,10, 03/09/10
and then second sheet is similar but: Depot, department, location, 02/09/10, 03/09/10, 04,09, 10 - as you can see each day the forecast starts a day after and ends one date late (14 days each in the real one)...
How to I join all these forecasts into one table; vertically with each forecast identified by the day it start for analysis later.. rather than doing cross-tabulate which would take ages, I just need to keep adding more excel sheets but the headings change as they are dates...
This is my First post - so please be kind. I'm quite new at coding things and have learnt almost every thing from this forum so far by search old posts but can't find the answer to the below. I know how frustrating it must be to answer the same question over and over again so if this has been answered before please accept my appologies and if you could direct me to the old post I'll pick it up from there.
I have managed to get my DB to output to Excel using the below code:
I have created this command button from tools that output the access report into word file. However, it prints all the record into word file, is there a way that it would print one record or selective record at a time. I mean, lets just say if I am on record 3 after I am done I press the button and I don't want it to output 1 to 3 record just the 3rd one. Is it possible to do it like that or not?
I have a question to ask you all. This has been killing :( me I have not been able to find an answer. :confused:
Lets say I have a form open. In this form, there are text boxes that have a persons name, address, an account number, and phone number. This part is the easy part.
Now, what I would like to do is some how when you click on the account number, (it doesn't have to be a link) it will open up another form that shows available Word Documents for only that account number.
Different account numbers will have different Word Documents available to them. When this new form opens, then the user can pick a Word Document that is available to them.
Is one better than the other to get information into Word Documents
Using access to control word and use mail merge (can I set up the data source for the word document from access...how?)

Using access, fill in bookmarks created in Word
I have about 30 word documents from a real estate company that they want data from the database merged into the word documents. Too much formating in the word documents to use access report. Any suggestions?
I have given up on doing this since I am obviously stupid, but I have a word document that has most things static and about 6 fields that are dynamic. I would like to develop a small GUI in access that the user can input the data into the fields and then click the print cmdbutton that I create and it will open the Word doc, fill the fields that need filled, then print the form.
I tried a mail merge, but I really need this to be a seamless process.
If I use a report in Access, will it hold Word formatting?
These are legal documents that are being printed out.
I wanted to do it with some type of web based app, but my web server is Windows and not Unix so I cannot use CGI.

I have just been given a big project of firstly transferring information we hold in word documents over to Ms Access and then using ASP or .NET I got to make this a searchable, more user friendly web page displaying the information from the database.
I have tried searching on the web but have not found anything that can transfer information from a table in a word document to a table in Ms Access, does anyone know of anything out there that allows this to be done without losing any data in the transfer?
I have tried saving the document as a text file and importing it into Access but it did not transfer the data across correctly.
Hi there, I am doing a project for my A level computing, and for my mum's financial advising.
I am to assume no knowledge of computing on her part, and so i cannot make it up to the end user to know how to mailmerge. I was wondering if you could help. I can have it in a query, form or table form, whichever is best for this, but i need to be able to make a button which exports a record into a MS word mailmerge. This is just to make a simple letterhead. I need a button that says " Write to client ", and once it is clicked it needs to open a letter addressed to them. This is my problem. I have noticed when the data is in a report, there is an export to MS Word button, which is very close to what i want as i could use that and get a good enough mailmerge, but is there a way to run this from a macro or using VB? I did VB last year for my computing project and so i understand a fair amount of it. I want to just make one word document, which will open as mailmerged with the clients data. Please help if you can, I am sure it is possible as i can see you can mailmerge from access, and there is even a button to do it.... kind of, i just need to be able to make my own. Thankyou so much for your help. Steve ( Microsoft Access 2003 )
I have an Access 2007 Database, containing Dues records for a Membership type application. Each Month I produce a Newsletter vis Publisher 2007, which ends up in PDF format. e-mail Address information is in Outlook 2007, snail mail adress info is in Access.
I want to be able to send an e-mail (Merge ??) to all those who have e-mail, with the Newsletter as an attachment, and with the Dues data in the body of individual e-mails (Merge ??). As the data resides in a number of applications, can someone point me in the direction I should take to achieve this.
I have a rather large form that I created in Access. It is mainly a travel reimbursement form. It has numerous drop down fields for travelers, dates, etc.
My problem is, how do I email it? I would like for the receiver to see the "printable version". When I try and export it currently, I don't have the ability to send it that way. I can send it as an Excel document, but when I view it, it is about 10 pages wide.
Is there any easy way to make the screen view visible to the receiver?
Any help would be appreciated as my company is opening a satellite office and our administrative assistants will need to get these forms.
I have a word doc which i can open from Access but i need advice on something i would like to try out.
I have a form with a patients name and i can scroll through the table through here(on the form using nav buttons) as well and see other patients information. What i'm trying to do is according to whoever is on the form when they click on the button to open the word doc i want the patients name to appear on the word doc.
I guess it's like a Mail merge but i want the data to be pulled from the form like the patients name and address and i want this information to go onto the Word Doc. Any ideas on how to do this.
