Word :: Sizing MS Word Table To Same Size As Recordset
Aug 14, 2014
My end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code:
Dim wDoc As Word.Document
Dim wTable As Word.Table
Dim wCell As Word.Cell
Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc)
wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.

I have a table of information in Access and I was wondering what would be the best way to get the info I need out of it.
for example can I search for a specific word that could be anywhere in the table in any of the cells.
The word is 'pump' and I would also want to know if it is an inception pump or not and then I would like to see a list of clauses associated with the pump (the clauses would be in a specific column under a heading)

I have a set of maybe 5 template word docs which I populate with info form our database using bookmarks , the word docs are currently sat in a shared network drive.
I have started wonder if it would be better to store them in a table and call them from there to keep things together.

I'm not sure where this question belongs but I need to give users the ability to create a small table in MSWord or another program, and then paste the table into a data field. An image of the table would be fine. But it needs to be user friendly.
If that's not possible they could just create a Rich Text document with text formatted in a table form with out gridlines. I would need about a 2000 character limit. Not sure if this is reasonable or not??

I have a report that groups by a project name and then a repeating field to list all associated detail having to do with the project. Then the projects loop to the next.Each project row is the same height as the combined detail rows. And to be able to print guidelines just as you would with a word table.
+-------+-----------------+---------+
| Project |.-detail row 1......| Open.....|
|...........|.-detail row 2......|.............|
|...........|.-detail row 3......|.............|
+-------+-----------------+---------+
This is what currently happens.
+-------+-----------------+---------+
| Project.|.-detail row 1......| Open.....|
+-------+-----------------+---------+
............|.-detail row 2......|
............+-----------------+
............|.- detail row 3......|
............+-----------------+
I'm thinking I need to do it with vba putting each into a variable then set the field to be the value of the variable. but i'm also not sure how to do that as it repeats like that.

I have a table in MS Access 2010 with a Date field and 3 Memo fields. I wish to append data to the Access table from a MS Word doc that has a date field and 3 memo fields. My wish is to have a command button on the MS Word doc which appends the data to my Access Table.I am aware that a web page can append data to an Access table.

I run a merge process from VBA code to create word documents. I would like to add 2 word tables to a document and only show them based on some parameter or mergefield in the data.
Can a table be identified? Like Table 1. And can it be made invisible?

Hi guys!
I have my word template set up such that some data is copied from the open form into the document and some data is taken from a table which is created from a query based on the content of the form (the record number). This works well HOWEVER (there's always a however isn't there :rolleyes: ) where two users click on the button at exactly the same time or within a very short space of time the query only runs once and either the database crashes (bad) or the document is created for the second person with the wrong data (very bad).
How can I make it so that only one person can run the query at a time (ideally build in a delay in processing so that the query will run for them when the first person has finished...failing that a message to say please try again later)? They will always be working with a different record.
I'm a bit stuck as to what to search for in the forum for an answer to this so haven't really searched.....sorry :(
Many thanks
Jo

Hi All,
I have an MS Access table that currently links into word as a mail merge. Great!
Sample data as follows:
Tutor Student
Mr A Donald Duck
Mr A Mickey Mouse
Mr A Minnie Mouse
Mrs B Joe Bloggs
I want to produce a mail document that allows me to address each tutor separately, along with the respective student names in a grid.
Now I've setup the document, but when I view each document it produces the list of all students for each tutor.
e.g.
Dear Mr A
Your students are:
Donald Duck
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
-------------------
Dear Mrs B
Your Students are:
Joe Bloggs
Is this at all possible?
Thanks:)

Exporting data from a table or query, into Word 2010?
I've googled the crap out of it and the only thing I can find is mail merge...which as far as I can tell is used for creating letters and mailling lables or emails.
What I would like to do is click a command button on an invoice which would export company name, province and date, into an existing word template, save it as a new filename, and then close.

I need to replicate an existing report that has a number of 3 columns across the page and has 35-40 rows down the page...it's like a table in Word or a spreadsheet in Excel. I need to print the column and row lines.
Is there a simple way to include these in the report other than me drawing each and every line?

Hi!
I have a database with a lot of chemical data. My ASP page allows the user to search out all data from a specific location during a specific time period. It then creates a normal html table with the results.
The problem is when I have a large time period and a lot of parameters. For example: data from location 1, 1959 to 2005 returns a HTTP 500 error. When using "on error resume" only the code and data from the last three years are printed (all html tags etc missing from the beginning of the page).
When I choose the period 1959-2002 it works, and also if I use 1970-2005 (which shows that it's not corrupt data in the 2003 year).
My question is: is there a size limit for a recordset? If so, how do I solve this? If not, what could be my problem? Size limit of html pages?
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
I am exporting a table to word and I have come across a problem.
My code opens a template, creates a table with the correct number of rows and columns at a certain position, and then adds data to it.
At this point, everything is fine. But, here is where the problem sticks its ugly head out. I am modifying the column widths and every other time I run it, it crashes, saying something about not being able to access the remote server. Run time error 462.
I have checked in the task manager that word is being quit properly each time and tried going to different templates.
The first time I run it, it runs fine. The second time, it crashes on the line where I change the width. Here is the line of code.
mytable.Columns(1).Width = InchesToPoints(1.2)
I have found that if I close the document after it is created and leave word open, it will run fine.
I think I am in the same boat as mrpauly. But his post date is 23rd April 2001…
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=26363
Has anyone else seen or heard anything like this? I’m really confused…
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Exporting datasheet to word, how is this possible using vb. Actually, I do have a thread in Form forum. But, I think not a lot of people visit that place. Anyways, I have created bookmarked and used datavariable to export the data (by ansentry's help). But the only thing that it exports is just one selection on that datasheet, instead of all the chosen rows.
I am exhausted now after searching everywhere, and not finding a clue. How to resolve that situation. If there is an example that I can use, that would be gr8.
Thanks In Adv.

Im having a problem getting this code to work.
It is meant to fire up Word (which it does), open up a new doc based on the template (which it also does) and then populate a field in the doc with data from the query table (which it doesn't).
I've put the fields in the Word doc via firstly, defining them as Custom Document Properties in the File, Properties box, and then as "{ DOCPROPERTY "<fieldname>" *MERGEFORMAT }" codes in the text.
The field in the Word doc is type 'text' and the field in Access is type 'text', so I am stumped by the "Type Mismatch" error it gives when attempting to get/open the recordset.
It hasnt even got to transferring the values across to the doc.?
Ive not done this before (Access newbie) and even found creating the custom fields in Word not as straighforward as I expected!
Please can someone help?
Private Sub butDocPreview_Click()
Dim dbs As Database
Dim objDocs As Object
Dim objWord As Object
Dim prps As Object
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strClient As String
Dim strAccountManager As String
On Error Resume Next
Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number = 429 Then
'Word is not running; creating a Word object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo cmdWord_ClickError
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'Open query..
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryClientDocHdr_Export"
intCount = DCount("*", "tmpClientDocHdr")
Debug.Print "Number of Text items: " & intCount
' Check that there is at least one line..
If intCount < 1 Then
MsgBox "No text to process; cancelling"
Exit Sub
End If
Set dbs = CurrentDb
'==stops here with "Type Mismatch" error==
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tmpClientDocHdr", dbOpenDynaset)
With rst
strClient = Nz(![Client])
strAccountManager = Nz(![AccountManager])
End With
rst.Close

To queries here:
Database is the MS Contacts Template with minor adjustments.
1. Trying to insert a link to an image using a bound OLE object in my form. Now I've got it top work. However, the link appears normal size in the centre of the object box. Problem is when I resize the oject box so that llink text just fits fine. The text resizes with the box and you need a microscope to read it.
2. I want to be able to cerate merged letter but I cant select Tools>Merge it with MS word fro some reason (i've aslo tried with with DB's we use in work with same problem) but publish with Word is available.:confused:
I am by no means an expert with Access so please, please post replies in lamens terms.
Thanks,
Marc

Hi,
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:
Set Xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Xl.Visible = True
Xl.Workbooks.Open ("C:TEMPPACLPACL - Blank") ',,True
Xl.range("C8").Value = [Text78]
Xl.range("C9").Value = [tender name]
Xl.range("C10").Value = [Request Number]
Xl.range("F10").Value = [Accepted offer]
Xl.range("C14").Value = [Site Status]
Xl.range("C16").Value = [Accepted offer SPO]
Xl.range("C17").Value = [Type]
Xl.range("C19").Value = [Mpan]
Xl.range("C20").Value = [HH MOP]
Xl.range("C32").Value = [Payment Terms]
Xl.range("C13").Value = [No of sites]
Xl.range("C4").Value = [Text173]
Xl.range("A47").Value = [Additional comments]
I now need to do the same for word;
I have managed:
Dim oApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
oApp.Documents.Open ("C:TEMPQuatation") ',,True
but I have no idea how to get the info held in field [tender name] in my database into the Ln 5, col 10 in my word document.
I hope this makes sense, any help will be greatly received as I am very new at this and very eager to learn.
