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?

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!

Please help
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.

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?

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)?

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!
Help, please!
Thank you,
Emma

Hi,
I have a control on a form which opens up Word and completes fields in the Word document with data on the form. It basically fills in an invoice form.
Everything works ok apart from when the invoice date and order date fields are passed. In the tables and in the forms, the dates are in Long Format ie '17 May 2005'. However, when they are apssed to the Word document, they are in a shortened format ie '17/05/05'. I am required to show the Long Format but am at a loss to find out how to achieve this.
I use bookmarks in the Word document and the code on my form relating to these fields are:
.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OrdDate").Select
.Selection.Text = (CStr(Forms!frmOrders!OrdDate))
.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OrdDateInv").Select
.Selection.Text = (CStr(Forms!frmOrders!OrdDateInv)
The Word document cannot be changed as far as I can see. I believe the answer could be to change the code above to change the format, but cannot get anything to work?
Your assistance would be helpful.
Thanks

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.

Hi
I want to open a Word Document in access, so I am using the Runapp macro. It says to enter a command line. So, i input the path of the document and run the macro. It works great! But now I need to get the Word document to print after it is opened.
I wasn't sure how to do this. I have tried to create a macro in Word to automatically print the document but that didn't work. Then I used the RunCommand under macros in Access and selected PrintOut. I received an error message and I also tried the sendkeys. Nothing has worked.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Any help would be great!
Thanks

I use the following code to achieve following
a) Open a word document from MS access / VBA,
b) Connect to data from a query
c) mailmerge it
d) Save it as a new document containing mailemerged letters.
The code does open the required document as I can see it open.
I put a message box to recheck that filename/path is what I mean, and to to know till which line the code runs. Code runs till that point and that word doc is seen open. I get the error message before
Then I get error message.
I was fooling around and was getting message " This command is not available because no document is open" I tried to remove few lines thinking redundancy. Before getting the message, I was also getting the error trapping message "No documents opened."
Now I am getting different message.
I am getting message " The remote Server Machine does not Exist or is unavailable"
Following is the code I have written.
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("word.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
fn = FormPathName("941 2014 AutoOpen.doc")
[Code] .....

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.

Not sure if this is possible but I am trying to extract data from a word document to set up a database.
Basically I am trying to capture data from completed forms, similar to the sample attached, the actual blank form is 20 pages long and once completed can be as many as 30 pages, or even more, although the format doesnt change (i.e. individidual cells will expand to fit the data in the cell).
I want to be able to scan through the completed forms and extract the data i.e. Full Study Title, Short Study Title, Study Type etc. into a database.
The issues:
1. Each document will have a different name but will be stored in the same location.
2. What is on page 8, for example, in one document is not necessarity going to be the same on every document (due to expanding cells)
3. Each sector is in a separate table but tables can spread across several pages.
4. Some data is stored in a checkbox format rather than text.
5. I dont want to extract all of the data, only certain sections (at least at this stage).

If I use the word template named "ABC.dot" as attached and write the following piece of code to print off the letters with different appropriate background , it works perfectly fine:
Code:
Sub PrintLetters()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim r As Long
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
[Code] ....
But if I combine two templates together in one template as attached "Capita.dot" then it doesn't display background picture at all in any of the cases. I am using the same piece of code but the background image is not displaying. The background image shows logos for each letter like For capita letters , the logo will be capita . For Friends Life letters the logo background will be different.
