I'm using a code to open a Word document using Access and then filling form fields.
I'm having no problems with the code, but I want to change it so that the text box takes multiple IDs (an ID in each line) and perform the rest of the code on each code,
I've tried Split and other stuff I found by searching but I had no success.
I've tried to add to the code so that it saves the form automatically after filling the fields, would that work with multiple IDs?
Here's the code I'm using atm:
Dim appWord As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set appWord = New Word.Application
End If
Set doc = appWord.Documents.Open("C:\Users\" & Environ$("Username") & "\Desktop\Form.doc", , True)
With doc
.FormFields("Text4").Result = DLookup("[Name]", "[Que]", "[Qu]![ID] =" & [ID2])
appWord.Visible = True
.Activate
End With
Set doc = Nothing
Set appWord = Nothing
Exit Sub
errHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
End Sub
Edit: iIgot it to work using
Split(ID2.Value, ",")
However, I tried making it split values after each new line but I still couldn't figure it out.
I tried Enviroment.NewLine, vbCrLf, vbCr, vbNewLine and vbLf. None of them worked
Split(ID2.Value, vbCrLf )
Worked great!
after that you can call the strings using Ex(0),Ex(1) etc..

I have an access database which prints a label as a word document. The word document is filled using the information from my access database and then closed. This works on my personal laptop and prints every time. When I transfer this to my work laptop it works the first time and then fails as the document has remained open. The document does not show up in the processes in task manager, my laptop is using office 365 and my work laptop is at office 2016 is this a version issue? Code below. If this is completely wrong could you please suggest the fix
Dim appWord As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim thepath As String
thepath = CurrentProject.Path
'Avoid error 429, when Word isn't open.
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
'Set appWord object variable to running instance of Word.
Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'If Word isn't open, create a new instance of Word.
Set appWord = New Word.Application
End If
Set doc = appWord.Documents.Open(thepath & "\label.docx", , False)
'ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).va Me.PartNumber
'
'ActiveDocument.FormFields(fldPartNumber). = Me!PartNumber
If Selection.FormFields.Count >= 1 Then
MsgBox Selection.FormFields(1).Name
End If
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result = Me.PartNumber
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text2").Result = Me.SerialNumber
'MsgBox (ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result)

Set doc = Nothing

Set appWord = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:

End Sub
I think that the problem is the order that you are doing things at the end of the code. You should be closing/quitting objects before setting them to nothing. In addition, I would recommend that you have a single exit section that cleans up objects, regardless of whether there is an error or not. Something like:
Sub sFoo
On Error GoTo E_Handle
' Word automation code here
sExit:
On Error Resume Next
doc.Close
Set doc=Nothing
appWord.Quit (True)
Set appWord=Nothing
Exit Sub
E_Handle:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume sExit
End Sub
Regards,
Ok, the answer here was a known issue in Microsoft Office automation the document was left open due to failing to reference an object. Microsoft issue 189618 was the reference that i used to fix this.
{Cause
Visual Basic has established a reference to Word due to a line of code that calls a Word object, method, or property without qualifying it with a Word object variable. Visual Basic does not release this reference until you end the program. This errant reference interferes with automation code when the code is run more than once.
Resolution
Modify the code so that each call to a Word object, method, or property is qualified with the appropriate object variable.}
My original error catch was to use on error resume next which allowed the real issue Runtime error 426 to be bypassed. This was due to the line of code setting the doc reference as
`enter code here`Set doc = Documents.Open(thepath & "\label.docx",,False,,,,True)'
as it doesn't reference appword it leaves an instance open. Hence my second time round open document. The fix was simple.
Set doc= appword.Documents.Open(thepath & "\label".docx",,False,,,,True) The code now works, below is a fully corrected and cleaned up version of the script which includes Applecores suggestion that was so kindly provided.
Private Sub Command67_Click()
On Error GoTo E_Handle
Dim appwd As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim thepath As String
thepath = CurrentProject.Path
Set appwd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appwd.Visible = True
Set doc = appwd.Documents.Open(thepath & "\label.docx", , False, , , , True)
doc.FormFields("Text1").Result = Me.PartNumber
doc.FormFields("Text2").Result = Me.SerialNumber & nullstring
doc.FormFields("Text10").Result = Me.BatchNumber & nullstring
doc.FormFields("Text7").Result = Me.Qty
doc.FormFields("Text6").Result = Me.Lifex
doc.FormFields("Text3").Result = Me.Station
doc.FormFields("Text4").Result = Me.Store
doc.FormFields("Text5").Result = Me.Bin & nullstring
doc.FormFields("Text11").Result = Me.Description
appwd.DisplayAlerts = False
doc.PrintOut Background = True
appwd.DisplayAlerts = True
doc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
Set doc = Nothing
appwd.Quit
Set appwd = Nothing
Exit Sub
sExit:
On Error Resume Next
doc.Close
Set doc = Nothing
appwd.Quit
Set appwd = Nothing
Exit Sub
E_Handle:
MsgBox Err.Description

I can't find where the error is. A similar code to pull dynamic file name worked in another tab.
Sub MonthlyBCRCPL()
Dim filePath As String
Dim CardsRCPLWb As Workbook
Set CardsRCPLWb = ActiveWorkbook
filePath = CardsRCPLWb.Sheets("BCRCPL").Range("A1").Value
'Optimize Code
Call OptimizeCode_Begin
Const FlashFolder As String = "\\apacdfs\SG\GCGR\GROUPS\ASEAN\Dashboard\Cards\Flash\"
Flashname = Format(CardsRCPLWb.Sheets("ASEAN - CARDS, RCPL").Range("C2").Value, "YYYYMMDD")
Flashname = "ASEAN SD Regional Dashboard - " & Flashname & ".xlsx"
Flashpath = FlashFolder & Flashname
Dim FlashWb As Workbook
Set FlashWb = Workbooks.Open(Flashpath)
If FlashWb Is Nothing Then MsgBox "SD Flash File does not exist": Exit Sub
Consider handling the error in the subroutine and have it raise a message. Then, properly continues/skips/exits rest of code even releasing objects from memory caught during the exception. This is a best practice in VBA (and generally in programming).
I suspect the path cannot be found which looks to be a network UNC, file naming is not valid such as use of special characters, or workbook does not exist when trying to open:
Sub MonthlyBCRCPL()
On Error Goto ErrHandle:
...code...
ExitSubBlock:
Set CardsRCPLWb = Nothing
Set FlashWb = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandle:
Msgbox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "RUNTIME ERROR"
Goto ExitSubBlock
' Resume Next
End Sub
I would like to grab a running word application and insert some text.
The VBA/Macro code is run from another separate Microsoft application such as Word or Excel. Is this possible?
It is quite easy. You need just this simple code to put inside any Excel, PP, Outlook Module. To catch Word from Word... you don't need it, you are just in.
Sub catch_word()
Dim WRD As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set WRD = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If WRD Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Word Application is not open"
Else
'add new document and add text into it
Dim DOC
Set DOC = WRD.documents.Add
DOC.Content.Text = "First text into document"
End If
End Sub
Edit If you know the name of the document which is already opened you could go this simply way to catch it and put some text into it:
Sub catch_word_document()
Dim WRD As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set WRD = GetObject("Document1")
If WRD Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Word Application is not open"
Else
'add text into it
WRD.Content.Text = "First text into document"
End If
End Sub
Thanks KazJaw.
How ever, I want to add text to the opened Word document and not add another.
Based on your code
Sub catch_word()
Dim WRD As Object
Dim WRD_WINDOWS As Object
Dim strTemp As String
On Error Resume Next
Set WRD = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If WRD Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Word Application is not open"
Else
Set WRD_WINDOWS = WRD.Windows
For Each win In WRD_WINDOWS
If (win.Document.FullName = "Document1") Then
win.Document.Range(Start:=125, End:=134).Text = "Some Text"
strTemp = win.Document.Range(Start:=5, End:=10).Text
End If
Next
End If
I am a bit new to Outlook forms, but not to VBA overall - nor HTML/Web design of forms. However, my problem is finding a way to combine the two.
I am trying to design a form for users to fill out, and based on what they fill out in drop-down box's, it will then tell them what we want them to attach in the email. Currently we have this done in Excel, based on dropbox's it then VLOOKUPS to the 2nd Spreadsheet that contains the forms required.
Is there anyway I can bring in the Excel with the VLOOKUP behind the scenes in my VBA Outlook Form so that it can look-up what attachments we want the user to do? Otherwise, it would be a TON of SELECT CASE statements in VBA =/
This seems to the do the trick for me.
Some of it I have cobbled together from sites like this, the rest has been created by myself from scratch.
When I click my button:
An input box appears, which is the value that will be looked up in the spreadsheet.
it looks in the range (specified in the code), for a match
returns the value, two columns to the left of it.
when it finds a match it puts it in the Subject line in Outlook.
Dim jobno As String
Dim Proj As String
Sub Test()
jobno = InputBox("Job Number?", "Test")
GetNameFromXL
If jobno <> "" Then
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
If Proj <> "" Then
myItem.Subject = jobno & " - " & Proj & " - " & Format(Date, "dd.mm.yy")
Else
myItem.Subject = jobno & " - " & Format(Date, "dd.mm.yy")
End If
myItem.Display
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Sub GetNameFromXL()
'Late binding. No reference to Excel Object required.
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWB As Object
Dim xlWS As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
'Open the spreadsheet to get data
Set xlWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("X:\...\FILENAME.xlsx") ' <-- Put your file path and name here
Set xlWS = xlWB.Worksheets(1) ' <-- Looks in the 1st Worksheet
Debug.Print "-----Start of 'For Each' loop"
For Each c In xlWS.Range("A6:A100") 'Change range to value you want to 'VLookUp'
Proj = c.Offset(0, 2).Value 'This looks at the 2nd column after the range above
Debug.Print c & Proj
If jobno = c Then
Debug.Print "-----Match Found: " & jobno & " = " & Proj
GoTo lbl_Exit
Else
End If
Next c
Debug.Print "-----End of For Each loop"
MsgBox jobno & " not found in WorkBook."
'Clean up
Set xlWS = Nothing
Set xlWB = Nothing
Set c = Nothing
Proj = ""
xlApp.Quit
Set xlApp = Nothing
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
I am trying to use this code snippet to get the selected text in outlook 2003
Sub SelectedTextDispaly()
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
Dim oText As TextRange
''# Get an object reference to the selected text range.
Set oText = ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange
''# Check to see whether error occurred when getting text object
''# reference.
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Invalid Selection. Please highlight some text " _
& "or select a text frame and run the macro again.", _
vbExclamation
End
End If
''# Display the selected text in a message box.
If oText.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "No Text Selected.", vbInformation
Else
MsgBox oText.Text, vbInformation
End If
End Sub
When running this macro I get the error
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Basic
---------------------------
Compile error:
User-defined type not defined
Do I need to add any references to fix this up?
#Kusleika, I tried the option you had suggested and still the same errors came up.
Thanks for the help
May be I had not phrased my question in the proper way
Some more googling revealed that its not possible to get the selected text of a mail in preview pane. http://www.eggheadcafe.com/forumarchives/outlookprogram_VisualBasica/Aug2005/post23481044.asp
So I had to adjust the requirement so that I can do an action from an mail item window.
The following code helped me (had to make some changes to suit my needs)
Sub Blue_Code_Highlight()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim insp As Outlook.Inspector
Set insp = Application.ActiveInspector
If insp.CurrentItem.Class = olMail Then
Set msg = insp.CurrentItem
If insp.EditorType = olEditorHTML Then
Set hed = msg.GetInspector.HTMLEditor
Set rng = hed.Selection.createRange
rng.pasteHTML "<font style='color: blue; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;'>" & rng.Text & "</font><br/>"
End If
End If
Set insp = Nothing
Set rng = Nothing
Set hed = Nothing
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub

#Kusleika thanks for the help, can I close this thread. Pls let me know.
Just in case someone is using the word editor instead of html, you can also insert this part:
If insp.EditorType = olEditorWord Then
Set hed = msg.GetInspector.WordEditor
Set word = hed.Application
Set rng = word.Selection
rng.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
rng.Font.Size = 10
rng.Font.Color = wdColorBlack
End If
to get similar when word is the editor. i tried to paste this into a comment on the accepted answer, but it destroyed the formatting and was pretty useless, so posting as an answer.
Dim oText As Range
TextRange is a property of the TextFrame object. It returns a Range object. There is no TextRange object.
