Word document?

[Daniellawson]

Is it possible to get a word Document to open on the click of a button with certain values from my database?

e.g...

Name
Number

GRADE


(And then maybe it auto prints of this information?) - not essential..


thanks

You can control Word from Excel (Or Access, since you didn't mention where's your database) with VBA, but, it's not clear what you want (You say that you want to open a document, but then you also say that you want certain values in it, so, is it a new document ?)

Hi

I have made this script so range A1 to A20 is paste over to word does this help, i suggest edit teh range to your requirements

Jack

Place this code in normal standard module and link to command button

Sub Excel_to_Word_JackintheUK()

Range("A1:A20").Select
Selection.Copy

Set Word6 = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
With Word6
If UCase(Left(Application.OperatingSystem, 3)) <> "MAC" Then
.AppRestore
.AppMaximize 1
Else
AppActivate "Microsoft Word"
End If
.FileNewDefault
'.InsertPara
.Insert "JACK - Test from Excel"
.startofline 15
' .Bold
' .CenterPara
'.startofline 15
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, operation:=xlNone, _
skipblanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False

End With


' MARKER Excel to WORD
End Sub

I typed that in my button code.. (For a test)

Private Sub SendLetter_Click()
Sub Excel_to_Word_JackintheUK()

Range("A1:A20").Select
Selection.Copy

Set Word6 = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
With Word6
If UCase(Left(Application.OperatingSystem, 3)) <> "MAC" Then
.AppRestore
.AppMaximize 1
Else
AppActivate "Microsoft Word"
End If
.FileNewDefault
'.InsertPara
.Insert "JACK - Test from Excel"
.startofline 15
' .Bold
' .CenterPara
'.startofline 15
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, operation:=xlNone, _
skipblanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False

End With


' MARKER Excel to WORD
End Sub

End Sub


But i get the error :

COMPILE ERROR - EXPECTED END SUB

then a yellow arroe pointing to Private Sub SendLetter_Click()..

Probably something simple but im a newbie

thnx
