Hi. I have been asked to find out if it is possible to automatically insert info from a access database into some word documents that require the same info i.e. a title or reference number so that, for example, if the title is changed in the database it will automatically change in the associated word documents.
Is this even possible as I have no idea or can something similar be done?
Thanks for any ideas!
As a basic user and relatively new user of Access, I have designed a database which holds the data for several word documents that I use for mailmerges. I want to be able from the "switchboard" link the word documents so that users can easily access the letter/form required and print them. Ive tried many things - just not working!!!! Time to shout for help!

Is it possible to link Access to Word documents?
I wish to create a button on a form that when clicked it opens the word document according to what have been selected in the combo box in the form.
thanks :o
I was wondering if there is an awesome way out there somewhere to take a record and export it into a word document, like a template and have the fields go where you want them to?

i need help regarding linking Access to various Word documents.:confused:
the task consists in choosing a particular Country, Year and Month from Combo Boxes and then view the related reports in Word.
for example : United Kingdom, 2006, January
more than one report can be related to a particular country.
is there a way this can be done? (maybe through the use of LookUp for the folder path?!)
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks.
How is it possible to open a form letter word docment from an Access form in which information on the form (such as name and address) is used in the letter?

Sorry but I'm really new to Access and trying to make sense of all the useful advice on here!
I'm trying to programme a button in one of my forms to open up a word document as read-only. I've written the code to open up the Word application (before I found the button which did it for me! :( ) but I think I need to add one or two more lines so that word knows where the document is I want and opens it up - any ideas what these lines are?
Real sorry for the trouble - any help would be most appreciated! Thanks guys and girls.
I have a database with hyperlinks to open word documents on my network. If someone else has that word document open it will ask me if I want to notify or open in read only. However since upgrading to Access 2013, (from Access 2003), this sometimes freezes the database.
I am wandering is there a way to tell Access (or Word) to open the document in read only if there is someone using it already?
I am attempting to create a database where I can input a number that will display a word document, and pdf's, and be able to toggle through them. I have all the data compiled. I just need to present it in some type of a front.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Hi,
My situation:
A front end written in Access (back end mySQL).
I have made a .mde file out of this front end.
There are a number of MS Word documents used (as merge documents) for running reports and letters that are linked to queries in the database. However, I can only link these documents to the original .MDB file as you can't link to the queries ni the .mde file.
This works fine until you have a query that requires a parameter from a form. The user will have selected the parameter from the .mde version of the front end that they are using but the query which is being called from the .mdb version (by the Word merge document) can't see this parameter because it is a totally separate database.
How can I get around this problem?
Sorry this is a lengthy post, hope it makes sense.

I created a form with a ListBox and a Command Button. The users selects the values in the listbox and then click the button to create word documents. I've written VBA code to accomplish this. But it's not working properly. It opens multiple word documents but all for the same one.
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Dim appWord As Object
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strPathToTemplateFile As String
Dim strPathToProspectiveFile As String
Dim strPreferredFileName As String
For Each varItem In Me.List0.ItemsSelected

I have now been asked to create 'something' (form, query, whatever) that will:
Allow the engineers to change the date in multiple tables for parts; and,Change (in)activity status information in those tables; and,Delete the same obsolete part(s) from two tables and add that information (one entry) into another table.
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 need to make a query work so that when someone enters info into a master form, it will pull the data for that job onto other forms when the job # is entered. Thanks for any help.

I have a database of experimental products. The database allows test technicians to input test information as well as product information (obviously in separate tables). Therefore before a tech logs test information, they have to first make sure the test product is in the database. They can do this by looking up the products that are in the database, and if the current one isn't they can input its information. In the lookup section you can also click on an individual product and lookup its test history.
What I am looking to do is add a button in the product information screen that allows the tech to open the test information input form with the test product information already loaded into the form. The product information portion of the test input form, is two combo boxes, one indicates the test products group and the other is the product number.
Looking up information on Google looks like i might need to use the OpenArgs function, however I have never used that before.
The database I have created is to produce product description sheets. From the switchboard, the user clicks a button that opens a form on which they can enter about 5 bits of information , then select the product they wish to produce the product sheet for and when they click a button, the product sheet is produced. The product sheet is a report with a subreport. The information entered on the form is included with more information from the database on the main report and the subreport is based on a union query which combines information from 2 tables to list the items included in this product. (the information the user inputs into the form is information that changes depending on the situation and is not stored in the database.
Now comes the next step in this process. Just as the information input into the form is temporary information, there is also one bit of information that needs to be input on a temporary bases for the items that are listed on the subreport. Each of the items on this subreport needs an assignment of AAA or BBB that needs to appear in the subreport on the line with that particular item. There can be one item in an product, or there can be many and the listing of AAA or BBB can be different from one item to the next or they could all be the same. The assignment needs to be made on an item basis.
My thoughts on this were to have a subform appear once the user selects the product on the form which would list all of the items and allow them to select either AAA or BBB in a column on this form. Then when the click to open the report, those assignments would carry through to the report.I have been able to create a continuous form displaying all of the items based on the union query but that's as far as I can get. Not even sure if that is the way to go.
Is there a way to reference the AAA and BBB input on the subform I described so that it displays in the report.

I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
Thank you.
