Is it possible to connect a Document to the Access Database. To have a button beside the field in the form allowing you to browze and connect the document. If not does anyone have a way around this. Any help would be well appreciated.

Someone please help!!!
The "file of type" does not display the excel type. . . only type database and ODBC. I'm using MSAccess 2000. Does it not support this type of import? Is there an add-in I need?
Thanks

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

I'm looking to design a form in Access that has a documents number field. Ideally, this field would auto-generate a document number based on a logical naming convention.

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?

I am creating a database for someone which includes a mail merged document with some data from the database.
Is it possible to allow the user to open the document by clicking on a button that will be on the Switchboard in the database, so that they do not have manually open the document?
Hope this makes sense!

I am creating a form that merges data in text fields to a word document using the bookmark method. For one part of the form i need to browse for images and then insert them into a word document. Is there any way i could create a subform that will store multiple image pathways and then merge the images to a word document using a command button.
Any suggestions would be fantastic.
Please help me i feel like crying.
Thanks

OK - bit of a newbie here & maybe this question has been asked a thousand times but i can't find any answers that cover this question properly.
Basically i am writing an access database that stores contract information, contact details, orders etc etc. I want to take the Order Number field, along with the Client Name & Address etc and post it into a Word Mail Merge type document, then save that file as ordernumber.doc after checking to see whether it already exists.
I have successfully managed to send the information into word in a mail merge document & get it to save the file using the ordernumber.doc format, however it is saving it to mydocuments folder and i want it in a subfolder called orders (that does exist). It is also not checking to see if that file already exist and overwrites it if it does.
I want to change the path to where the file is being saved, check whether it exists already, then ask me whether i want to overwrite it or save as something else.
Any help would be most appreciated. BTW I am using Word & Access 2003.
*****THIS IS THE CODE I AM USING*****

I have seen advertised a number of programs whose developers claim the program will document an application for you.
They're relatively expensive - several hundred $ as I recall. But if they work, it could save many days of headaches.
I was wondering if anyone had used them, if you'd recommend them etc.

Hi
My database is to have a Personnel data area whereby I can store all relevant details for employees within the company.
I plan to incorporate a feature whereby I can alos maintain a history of documentation written and issued including links to the actual documents for that employee during their time with the company.
Has anyone done a similar thing they would be willing to allow me to use?
I figure this would contain links to work documents stored on the hard drive in a specific folder. Selection of a specific item from a historical list - would invoike Word /similar and display the appropriate file...
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thank you.

We are wanting to have our entry form open; click a button that scans a document; to a pdf file; then attaches a hyperlink to that pdf to that record.
If that record was ever retrieved; we could simply double-click the hyperlink to access the pdf file.
Is this possible? Could you give us some recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I have a form with various details on clients. I have 6 different letters that need to pull off different fields from the client form. Is it possible to have a button (for each letter) that when when clicked will open up the word document for the specific client with the fields on their poulated, such as name, ammount owed etc.
Mail merge does not do the trick as it brings back all the clients in the database and not the specific one.

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?
Shell("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10WINWORD.EXE", "\documentsOfficesJudicial & Court ServicesJudicial CollegeShared Project FoldersTemplatesLetters & AccessoriesConf Letter Mail Merge.doc")

I have a problem with the way my forms are opening.The problem is with the document tabs, not the in form tabs.Basically the database will open the login screen (Modal & Popup) on load, after a successful login the user is redirected to a diary events page and the login form closes, then a user can select an ID (hyperlinked) which will open up a popup/modal form for more details and then if they want they can click a button within the popup which will view all client details.
I use VBA to close any popup/modal forms and open the Main Client Screen, at this point there are only 2 forms open in Single Form format, which is the diary events page and main client screen.The problem is once you click "view client" and the form opens, it defaults to the diary events tab, so the client screen is opening behind the diary events form, you then have to click the document tab for "client screen" to be able to view the form, which is a minor issue but annoying still.

Is it possible to format a PDF document created in MS Access i.e. set the document to landscape instead of portrait as in the following code;
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Query Name", acFormatPDF, "Document Name", False
This PDF document is attached to an MS Outlook e-mail and sent without any intervention from the user. This is accomplished using further VBA code. This code is working at the moment sending both Excel spread sheets and PDF documents but the PDF's require the page formatting before sending. I want to be able to accomplish this without having to open another application such as Adobe Acrobat.

I have a contacts database for an accountant with hyperlinks to numerous documents all set up and they work correctly - open the application and show document.
What I would really like to do is from within Access using VBA send an email to the client enclosing the hyperlinked document ( not the hyperlink itself which would not be available to the client).

Currently, I have a form with a button that sends emails to all records in a given record set. My email message is hardcoded, and it has dynamic fields that are different for each record. For example, "Dear rs![First Name], you have been placed in rs![Group Name]..." I have set this up in visual basic as an email object, and my .To field is set to rs![Contact Email Address]
Is it possible for me to put my email message in a Word document (so that it can be edited without going through the visual basic editor) and then either attach it to each email or put it in the message body (while still maintaining the dynamic fields)?
