Send Word Text Fields to Access Table

15 New Member
Hi All,

I've been working with Acess for a little while now but have never had to do a thing of such sort. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks

Problem:

A report is sent to users to fill out. The users fill out the text fields in the Word document and send it back. Now i need to develop a code such that it opens that Wird Document, taken all the fields and places them in thier proper headings within an Access Table.

I'm stilll trying to figure out where the Word Document will be placed and how Access will read the text fields and place them inside the table. The Word Document is a work order form.

Please HELP!

Thanks,
oz

Hi,

I've had such a problem! But instaed using code, I've used only copy Paste! It's worked perfectly!

So I've done the form in Word as a table! In Access i've created the same table structure as subform!

When introducing we've copied and then pasted in Access!!

IF not see automation help in Access.. But you have hard work to do!

Hope that helps a little!

:)

tblCourses one to many to tblEvents. A course may have an intro workshop (a type of event), a mid course workshop, a final exam. Or any combination. Or something different in the future. At the moment the printed output is usually going to Word. It's turning into an unholy mess, because I'm having to prepare umpteen different Word templates, and the queries that drive them, depending on what events a course has.

First of all, is this possible? ...

I need to locate a particular table in a document. I cannot hardcode the table number since it could be different in every doc.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
