fill fields in MS Word

[lcasado]

I have a word document with some fields already declared. I want to send values to this fields using VB .Net. If someone already did this please tell me how.

Don't know whether this will help, but in my own application I use a form letter with bookmarks and then generate forms using data from the database, here is my own example:



Private Sub StdButton3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles StdButton3.Click
' Overdue Rent letter
If FindResult.Item < 0 Then Exit Sub
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
Dim wrdApp As New Word.Application
Dr1a = Ds1.Tables("PropertyStatus").Rows(FindResult.Item)
Dim DbNam As String = DbConn.CurrCon
Dim cn1 As New OleDbConnection(DbNam)
Dim Oledbstr As String = "Select * from OverDueRents where Tenancy = " & CStr(Dr1a("Tenancy"))
Dim Cmd1 As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(Oledbstr, cn1)
cn1.Open()
Dim Dr1 As OleDbDataReader = Cmd1.ExecuteReader()
Dr1.Read()

Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim DbPath As String = DbConn.ThisDB


wrdApp.Documents.Add(Trim(DbPath) & "\LetterText\Rent Reminder.doc")

wrdDoc = wrdApp.ActiveDocument
Dim rngRange As Word.Range
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Date1").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Format(Now, "dd/MM/yyyy"))
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("LeadTenant").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Dr1("LeadTenant"))
If Dr1("PropertyAdr") <> Dr1("Adr1") Then
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("PropAdr").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Dr1("PropertyAdr"))
End If

rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Adr1").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Dr1("Adr1"))
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Adr2").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Dr1("Adr2"))
If Not IsDBNull(Dr1("Adr3")) Then
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Adr3").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Dr1("Adr3"))
End If
If Not IsDBNull(Dr1("Adr4")) Then
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Adr4").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Dr1("Adr4"))
End If
rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Arrears").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Format(Dr1("BalanceOS"), "#,##0.00"))



Dim DueOn As Date
Select Case Dr1("PaymentFrequency")
Case 0
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -1, Dr1("NextRentDue"))
Case 1
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -7, Dr1("NextRentDue"))

Case 2
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -14, Dr1("NextRentDue"))

Case 3
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -28, Dr1("NextRentDue"))
Case 4
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -3, Dr1("NextRentDue"))

Case 5
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -6, Dr1("NextRentDue"))

Case 6
DueOn = DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -12, Dr1("NextRentDue"))

End Select
Dim DayInMonth As Integer = DateTime.DaysInMonth(DatePart(DateInterval.Year, DueOn), DatePart(DateInterval.Month, DueOn))
Dim DayNo As Integer = DatePart(DateInterval.Day, DueOn)
If DayInMonth < DayNo Then
DueOn = CStr(DayNo) & "/" & CStr(DatePart(DateInterval.Month, DueOn)) & "/" & CStr(DatePart(DateInterval.Year, DueOn))
End If

rngRange = wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("DueDate").Range
rngRange.InsertAfter(Format(DueOn, "dd/MM/yyyy"))

Dr1.Close()
cn1.Close()
Cmd1 = Nothing

wrdApp.Visible = True
wrdApp.WindowState = Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMaximize
DataGrid1.UnSelect(FindResult.Item)
FindResult.Item = -1
wrdApp = Nothing
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default

End Sub
