Does anyone know why when i link Microsoft Access with a Microsoft Word document, the merged fields in Word automatically underline?
Is there anyway I can stop the automatic underlining?
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.
Matt.
Is it possible to populate a word document with the click of a button with records from an access form? If so could you give me some type of example?

I tried doing it by creating a field in Access for the picture and its field type was set to OLE Object and I placed the merge field in its appropriate area in Word. When I go to merge it, its comes up with a message that says "Long Integer or Binary Number". If anyone has an idea as to how I can make this happen....please let me know, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All,
I need some assistance.
First a little background on the database:
The back end is in AQL the front end is in Access.
The main form is called the "Register", here they enter claim information and if they need to create a printed loss they click on a button called "Loss Notice" This brings up another form which is filtered based on the claim number in the Register. Here they fill in additional information. On this form they have the option to print the Loss Notices by clicking on a button that Opens up Microsoft Word and all the fields are mapped to the Word Template where they need to be.
On my computer when I set this up it works great. I test it all the time and works perfectly.
However when the users try to do this from their computer they are getting a pop up box asking for the claim number. The Loss form is filtered and should only pull that claim number.
Why are they getting this pop up box and I am not?
If you need any additional information I will try and give that to you.
Thanks for trying to help!
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,

Hi,
how do i get the current record form access 2003 to merge the data into word 2003 template that I created.
The code I'm using is :-
Private Sub Command313_Click()
Dim oApp As Object
Dim doc As Object
Dim strDocName As String
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
strDocName = "K:Supported Living ServicesdatabaseDB-Personnel.dot"
Set doc = oApp.Documents.Open(strDocName)
doc.FormFields("Title").Result = Forms!Personal!Title
doc.FormFields("fristname").Result = Forms!Personal!firstname
Set doc = oApp.Documents.Add(strDocName)

ps (only a novice at access)
I have created a database of information which contains fields with Yes/No tick boxes. No problems there. When mail merging into Word the ticks are not formatted correctly. All I get instead are random symbols. All the other data merges successfully.
Can anyone help as I need to see ticks in the merged document?
Here's hoping

Hi, this is really puzzleing me!
What i want to do is take a field from one table and a field from another and join them together to make a single field.
I know this wouldnt work in practice without selection statements etc so only one field is selected, but if you could just help me on this code i would be greatful!
For example, assuming that the tables tblMyDatatable, and tblOtherData consists only of one record with each containing a letter of "y" then:
SELECT [TheData FROM tblMyDatatable] & OtherData AS ThisQuery
FROM tblOtherData;
Should produce the following:
ThisQuery
yy
It dosent! Can anybody help?
I have started a database to track my coin collection I have 2 questions.
1. I started tables for various coins the tables have 6 fields in addition to the primary field description, year, mint, condition, value & notes I decided it would make more sense to include the mint with the year is there any way to combine these 2 fields or do I have to redo the information?
2. I initially started with multible tables for certain denominations of coins ie: jefferson nickles, Buffalo nickles I have since decided it would be easier to have all the same denomination coins in the same table is it possible to merge tables?
I have a table which has each claim as a single record. A client wishes us to provide the data in a format that lists the each procedure on its own line. I have attached a highlevel example of what the data currently looks like and what the query results should look like.So I need to create a query that would repeat the Claim Number and place all the Procedure fields into one field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave 2 tables:
...TableA: 1 indexed field "Name" and many data fields in ~ 1000 records
...TableB: 1 indexed field "Name" and 2 data fields (DataB1 and DataB2) in about

Tables currently have NO relationship set.
Want to add TableB data fields to TableA if Name are identical.
DataB1 and DataB2 fields are Not currently in TableA but could be added very easily.
Update (or whatever) will be done weekly where all previous data for DataB1 and DataB2 will be cleared from TableA before job is run.
Is there a way of merging 2 fields together to create an additional field
my database consists of 4 main tables (in order of relationships)
*HeadOfficeDetails
*SiteDetails
*ContainersOnSite *Contracts2015-2016
For example;
Account Reference: TEST
Site Number: 001
and the field i would like to have;
Site Reference: TEST/001
I would also like that when i add a new site to that account i will have TEST/002....
I recently MERGED two columns in a database file using the following code:
SELECT "(" & RESULT & ") " & QUALIFIER AS MERGED FROM SOIL_STL3_MERGE AS SOIL_STL3_MERGE;
The RESULT field was a number which I had to change to a TEXT field since my QUALIFIER was a TEXT field. Anyway the result was the field called MERGED which depicted the data as follows:
(100) U
(500) U
......
.......
I use the Find and Replace twice to get rid of the first ( and run it again to get rid of ) resulting in a field that looks like this:
100 U
500 U
My question is can I solve this through an UPDATE query statement through SQL or some other way with a function.
I would rather automate the removal of the ( ) or change my original code to NOT put brackets around my result.
Any and all help is most appreciated.
I thk you all in advance.

Is it possible to import an excel spreadsheet which contains some merged cells. What I have got is a spreadsheet (like Raw Data in the zip file) and I need it looking like (Finish Data) but in a access table.

I am trying to take the data that is put into a form or report and export it to a certain document in word.
The user will be filling out a Reciept. On the form there will be a to and from box for them to fill out, along with many other options. Once the user enters in all the data required I want them to be able to click a button and it generate onto the attached file, in its perspective fields. Is there a way to match the documents to correspond to my program?

They're both in MS Access.I am trying to match 2 tables - columns (Tag No) with join query, but not success. I want to match 4 characters in Table-A with 4 similar characters in Table-B (Tag No) cell.What query is suitable to compare two tables.
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.
My network was using Access 2000 and Word 2000. We recently upgraded to Access 2002 and Word 2002, but now none of my merge forms are working. I don't get any error messages, and the merge function does open Word, but all I get is the original source document and not the actual merge information. I checked my VB references and nothing is glaringly missing. What's the deal?

I'm trying to get one csv file for a database of cars so I can upload it to my open-realty account.
In one table is the car ID and there are fields like Price, Extras, Mileage etc associated to that ID. (this is how I want everything to stay) I would like additional fields like Photo 1, photo 2, photo 3....photo 25 related to each car.
In the second table there are photos of the cars but each photo has its own unique ID but a field that relates to the ID of the car it is associated to.
How do I merge the two tables into one simpler version?
I've attached screen shots of the two tables.

Hello-
We are using an Access database for off-site data entry. We therefore have one master database we keep in the office and then a "template" version -which is identical to the master version except no records - we bring to each site, do the data entry and then merge that data back into the Master database.
Can anyone help suggest ways to make the data merging process more efficient. The database has approx 12 tables, so I dont' want to create an append query for each one every time. Is there a way to just "merge" two identical databases??
THANKS
