Tables :: Cascading Combo Box - Output Form (Word Or PDF Document)
Oct 30, 2013
I have created a form with 9 cascading combo boxes. There are 59 total results or scenarios (which are based upon the completion of the form and these 9 combo boxes). Currently, upon completion of the form and the 9 combo boxes, a text box displays the singular result/scenario.
Here's my question: Rather than utilizing a text box to display the result/scenario, is it possible to output a PDF or Word document? If so, is there a general VBA code for this that I could manipulate?

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.

Hi folks, this may seem like a silly question... but I'm rather new at this...
I have set up 4 Cascading combo boxes on a form, as per the fantastic little tutorial by SJ McAbney... They work great...
What I want them to do is output the combo box selections back to a table. I have been able to get it to do this, but all it's putting back in the table is the ID number of the combo box selection. I need to get the text there instead. I experimented with switching the column order on the form, so the text is before the ID... and that worked with the output, but messed up a number of other things.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance...

I am creating simple db for document control..
DB consist of 3 Tables:
tblCountry
tblState
tblCity
and a Form (frmCity) with cascading combo boxes that allows us to enter new City with existing data.
Combo's are displaying data fine but it don't allow selecting any item.
Shortly, this is what I have done so far:
1. Created cb's: cboContinet, cbo_State and cbo_City
2. Created query's:
a) qryState (added fileds are from tblState- State and Continent)
b) qryCity (fields are from tblCity- City and State)
3. Edit query's: qryState> added criteria for field Continent ([Forms]![FormName]![cboContinet])
I also added criteria in qryCity, field State ([Forms]![FormName]]![cboState])
4. Added VBA on After Update Event:
Private Sub cboDosje_AfterUpdate()
Me.cboGrupa.Requery
Me.cboPredmet.Requery
End Sub
[Code] .....
Macros are enabled in Trust Center and Combo boxes are refreshing fine, but somehow I can't select anything.
Also, I am working with Access 2007 if it matters, I've read something about allowing edits but didn't found how enable them.

I have completed a form that I am ready to put into production. I want to include a couple help documents with the database. There are two word documents that are stored as OLE objects in a table. I normally wouldn't include OLE objects like this because I would want to keep the DB size down, but there should only be 2-3 small word documents
What needs to happen:
click a button on a form and have the correct word document open.
The tbl they are stored in is called tblAddins. Two columns thus far, named:
ID (autonumber primary key)
file (OLE)
The only thing that the wizard (wish i didn't need to use it) gives me for Word is to open the application itself.
Thanks in advance to the great minds of this forum for any help.

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'm trying to add the information from a form and subforms to a report. This would be a medication mar sheet and needs to be in the format of the attached word document. I'm happy to do it in a report and change the formatting if that will work better. The personal info needs to go at the top and the medication needs to be listed on each sheet.
The form is called FrmMarSheet. It basically needs the info from that like the "sample mar sheet.doc". I can only get one medication per page to work at the moment.

I would like to open a Word document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form. I use the following code when I want to open a single specific document...
Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document
On Error Resume Next
Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then 'Word isn't already running
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(File path here)
wdApp.Visible = True
...but in this case the file path I want to use will be designated by a field on the form. I know I could just use a hyperlink but I don't like the way it looks on the form. I would rather hide that field and have code pull that path when I hit the button.
So how would I change my code to make it so the value in the file path field on the form goes in where it says "File path here" in my code above?

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 been reading about how to set the table up for cascading combo boxes. Some recommend breaking down into several tables, others say keep it to one table.
Mine is broken down to 5 tables (and work) but if you go to the form (split form) and make a change in design view - even something as simple as changing the width of a field - then the split table looses 2 fields information (the middle fields) but the information is still saved in the main (studentcourse) record table.
My question is how do i make it more stable so that the split form table section does not lose the information?

I need a table structure that will allow me to have a repair log data entry form with 3 cascading combo boxes on the repair log data entry form. There can be many repairs for a specific job but most of the time there will be one repair per job and 1% of the time two or more repairs for a specific job.
I am pulling a report based on a query that will show the repaired location, facility type, repaired item, repaired component on that item and other details related to the repair.I uploaded an empty database with the structure.
Cascade levels
I. Facility Type
II. Item by [I]
III. Component by [II]

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

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but it didn't seem to fit in anywhere else.
I have a simple database, which pretty much now works as I want it to. The only element I really needs to get working is some way of producing - at the click of a button - a Microsoft Word document, elements of which are populated by fields on whichever record the database user happens to be viewing at the time.
I already have the exact layout and template of the Word document I want, but I need to be able to view any record then click one button to fill that template with the record's fields and print it, and another button to fill the template with the record's fields and save it (again, in .doc format).
Is this possible?
