Once again, just looking to see if my thinking is off base (there's that
naivete again) or if there's a better approach. The requirement is for users
to create MS Word documents that will eventually find their way into a
central directory on the server. Once they're in that place, I'm looking for
a way to 'catalog' them, in effect, extracting information from data fields
in each document, as well as the document's location as a URL, to store in a
SQL database, and then, of course, use an ASP.NET application for other end
users to view the documents in their browser. Please note that the need is
NOT to store the entire document in the SQL db, just data from fields that
would be on the template that all the Word documents would be created from.
However, access those fields from an ASP.NET application appears to involve
invoking the Word object over and over again, and tests have been wholly
unsatisfactory. I've considered a VBScript, but would not have a central
location to place the macro, and so haven't even tested that approach. The
information I would need to store about each document include various
categories concerning the document's contents, so it isn't just a matter of
reading the directory and scooping up document names. Is there any other
approach that I could possibly consider?

Hi, I was wondering if expert can give me some lite to convert my word table
into access database.
Note: within each cell of my word table(s), some has multi-line data in it.
In addition, there is one row containing picture(s) as well.
So far, what I did is doing it manually for each word docs I have.

An article at http://news.com.com/2100-1012-991694.html?tag=fd_top states:
"XML would allow easier interchange of data generated in
Office documents with back-end systems or existing Web services."
As part of an Access 2000 application, I have to continually parse Word
documents and store the parsings in Access tables using Automation to
control Word and parse the document. Is there a way that XML would help with
that?
Thanks.

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)

The weird part is that the code was working earlier tonight. But now it's not, not properly, anyway. Now, what...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
