Access to Word - Save Word document as

When I save a document in Word that I have transferred from VBA to
Word I notice that the "Save As" file name is for, instance, "December
4.doc". Since the date is the first field I print on the Word
document I guess it picks up this as a key.

How do I stipulate what the name of the document is to be once I want
to save it in Word?

" .SaveAs" actually saves the document and I want to view and edit the
document and manually save it.

It would be nice to have the document save as "C:\MyProgram\D ocuments"
& LastName & FirstName & Date & ".doc" .

Thanks

Hi

Something like:
objWordDoc.Save As "C:\MyProgram\D ocuments\" & LastName & FirstName &
Format(Date, "d mmm yyyy") & ".doc"

Tip: use the macro recorder in Word to see how to carry out the actions you
are interested in.

Thanks Joe.

The only problem in doing it your way is that the document will be
saved even if you elect not to save it. It actually saves a blank page.

I've got an ACCESS 2000 application that I'm developing. One of the outputs of this app will be to generate a series of 'jobs' which corresponds to a record in the database. Each record will be printed on its own page which I've set up as a report and that's working fine. Accompanying each job is a Word (or Excel) document. Most jobs will have Word (or Excel) documents unique to the record. I know how to establish a hyperlink field...

Dear All, I have lately strugled more and more with Access, what started as a simple database has brought me to the fundaments of Access. I need to transfer fields from various tables to a word-document to make a decent report (transferring a report from access to word means a lot of loss on lay out, which I find a clear showcase of microsoft's socalled software quality).

Hello all you fine folks, Here is some code I am using to merge data from a single record Access 2K3 table into a NEW word document based on a pre-defined Word merge template doc.

We have a fairly good sized Access database that contains some info on the children our agency sees.

Management wants to automate this a bit so each of these templates is a report. That leads to my question. ...

Hello, I have a query set up in Access. I run it monthly, changing "date of test".

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
