Connecting To Word

Hey does anyone please have any code or advice on how to start or connect to Word and pull a document up off the hard drive so it will then paste info from a db into fields in the Word Document. Thankyou I will be so happy.

Dude,

No problem log into http://www.planetsourcecode.com and do a search on word. A hundred and one examples of exactly what you want. :) This are downloadable etc

Regards.

I just looked around for a while in there and did not find anything. I feel hopeless, does anyone have any other help or direction for me. I have been using the following code and it opens my document fine but now I cannot find how in the world to paste info into the particular textboxes that I have put on the Word document. Please help. Whats next?

'-- Show Microsoft Word
objWord.Visible = True

'-- Add new Document
objWord.Documents.Open ("c:\payoff quote.ltr.doc")

'-- Add text to Document
objWord. -------- STuck

Hope this helps!

OK, this code is awesome. i have been using it for awhile. i dont use text boxes in my Word documents. I simply just type a variable name anywhere on the document. This code finds the variable name in the document and then replaces it with whatever you pass it.

'Name of report file, change path to whatever is applicable

Set WrdDoc = WrdApp.Documents.Open("c:\ErrNotification.doc")

' Calling subroutines with header and data

Call RepPara("ErrDate", DateStamp)
Call RepPara("ErrNum", ErrNumBox)
Call RepPara("ErrDescription", ErrDescription

WrdDoc.PrintOut

'Close the original form document
WrdDoc.Saved = False
WrdDoc.Close False

Public Sub RepPara(Header As String, Data As String)
With WrdApp.Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = Header
.Execute Forward:=True
End With
Clipboard.Clear
If Data = "" Then Data = " "
Clipboard.SetText (Data)
WrdApp.Selection.Paste
Clipboard.Clear
End Sub

Thanks for the input but I still cannot get it to work it just will not paste into my document. The document is a form with text made in word and I need it to paste in the first textboxes. I really canot fit what you sent JJK I wish I could. And I have browsed the other sources sent by nins and jethro and have not found anything that makes it work. Maybe if I could just look at someones simple code on it. I am so frustrated.

i have another mail merge sample i can send you. this is a little more complicated. it uses data from a database to fill merge fields on a Word Document.

I am kind of confused to what you are trying to do. You are creating a Word Document and everything through VB? you can do that but, why couldnt you create a Word Document through Word, put on the variables where you want the data to be placed, then call that Word document and put in the data through the code i sent you earlier.

Yeah what I have I am using is a document created in Word (as a form) that has textboxes that can only be filled with info on the whole document. All I need to do is fill in the first one and then tab thru the the rest as I fill in each one in order. I would like to use what you have sent before but I am using textboxes and I do not really follow how to use your code with them. If you would like I would like to e-mail a copy of my word document but I need to get your e-mail. Double Thanks.
