Word and Excel Objects in Access Reports

I have a problem. I have an Access 2003 report that contains a number
of Word and Excel objects with fancy formatting and spreadsheets, etc.
I have about 20 records that I am having the database cycle through and
create one report per record (I need 20 individual PDFs for e-mailing).
When I use the 'DoCmd.OpenRepo rt "rptAnnualP kg", acViewNormal', Access
prints it before all the Word and Excel objects load and I have reports
with huge blank spaces.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Laura

I have an Access application which pulls data from an Excel worksheet
and pastes it into a Word document which then prints. It also inserts
an image file if there is one available for that record.
The code used to retrieve the data from Excel (and insert it into the
Word document) controls when my word document (report) prints. I can
retrieve data from a specific cell or copy an entire range of cells and
insert the data into my document. I don't have the name of the book
with me today, but I found a book on VBA and Excel as well as my Access
books that helped me to create the code I needed.

If you still want to use the Access report I am wondering if you have
code in your detail sections OnFormat property. It would seem to me
that any code in there that retrieves data from you Excel file should
hold the report from printing until the code has completed execution
(but we'll leave that from the real experts to determine).

Hi there, I'm having pain with the VB behind an Access form. The form is used to create reports in Excel based on the details entered in the form. This has always worked without error on my machine (NT4, Access 2k), however as soon as I attempt to create anything on another machine (NT4, Access 2k) which most users will be working from, I receive an automation error. The problem line with the code is:

I would like to print a report (or reports) from Access based on the Word document I have open. For instance, the Word doc I have open is called 10-789-65.doc. From Word, I would like to open Access, and print the reports for all records with 10-789-65 as the part number. I've never ventured into Access from Word only the other way around. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks, Bill

I'm working with a database developed by an untrained person over several years - and on a network that has recently been upgraded with a new server installed and MS office upgraded from 2K (I think - it might have been XP) to 2003. The database is impressive, both in what it does and the obtuse and inconsistent ways it works. There are several hundred queries, for example, with no indication of where they are used or if they are in fact...

Hi all, I need to document a database, and I do need output in Word so that I can edit the output. I need to describe table and field structure, used objects, dataflow, workflow, What are the options? I can think of the 'documentor' build in Access or third party tools like Total Access Analyser (FMS)? I tested the documentor and exported the reports as rtf to Word. It is doable for the object descriptions but not nice to work with...

In the last 1-3 weeks, we have had numerous users of Task Manager 2007 (www.orbisoft.com) complain that they can no longer export certain reports (Task Manager 2007 uses a Sagekey.com Access 97 runtime) to Excel 2003 or Word 2003 format. They say they get an error message then both Task Manager 2007 and Office 2003 shut down. Any ideas why this is happening?

I have an Access report that is created on the fly by the user selecting the fields to be included. The Access report comes out fine, but I want it to automatically output to an Excel spreadsheet. Again, I have this part working. But the fields in the resulting spreadsheet are in a different order than the Access report. (Example: The fields in the Access report might go FirstName, LastName,Address,City--in the Excel spreadsheet, they come up...

Hi everyone, I have a weird problem with some Word/Excel automation code that I run from Access (not sure if I should therefore post this in the Access forum..? Thought I'd try here first) Basically, the code either opens a document (if it exists) or creates it from a template if it doesn't. Docs can be Word or Excel docs. The weird part is that the code was working earlier tonight. But now it's not, not properly, anyway. Now, what...
