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
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
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 ?)

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

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
