    - Connect to a mysql database Hello, I have a mySQL DB on my local computer (localhost) and it holds information on many thousands of different products prices etc... I also have a number of word files that I have to manually update with the prices etc... every so often. Therefore, this can lead to discrepancies. Is there a way to connect a mySQL DB to Word 2003 using a macro and put data into certain places within the document. I've never done anything like this with an office document so any help would be great. Thanks David Tag: How do I automatically run macro FileProperties when opening doc Tag: 83367

    - Reproducing Excel table in Word Hi, Does anyone has already reproduce an excel table in word. I'm trying to do that (the programmation is below) but it is very complex. I'm looking for information to help me to progress. What the program do is a mailmerge executed from Excel. The excel file contains a sheet for mail merge data and others sheets (table1.1, table1.2, etc.) for tables used in the mailmerge document. When I execute the macro in excel, the Word Macro is executed and all the tables are formatted in word just before the mailmerge execution. The table formating seems to be very complex because: 1) Text with bold and exponents, italic, size caracter, ... tbl.cell(i,j) = rngExcel.Cells(i, j).Format 'give format of the first character and not of all character. Does anyone know how to paste all cell formatting in word? I don't know if doing a copy and paste is the best solution because, some cells are merged in excel and I have to adjust formatting (borders,horizontal alignment) thereafter. 2) In excel table, some cell contains text that go on the following cells. I have to merge the table cells in Word to take this into account. Also, it is possible that the cells are merge in excel. 3) Want to respect column width, borders, alignment etc. 4) I added a section to take NumberFormat from Excel. etc. Does anyone have already done something similar to this ? Is there a simpler way to have great word table formatting without having to program each things? example: copy paste the table using a pre-determined table formating. After that, adjust borders, column width, some alignments, .. Thanks a lot !

    - macro to import excel data into word text Ok, I would greatly appreciate any help with my situation. I have an excel spreadsheet containing data for many electrical devices. The first column in the spreadsheet contains the name of the device with the following columns containing data for that respective device. So, each row in the spreadsheet pertains to one electrical device. Now, in Word I have to create a report using this excel spreadsheet data. Because the devices are similar, I have created a paragraph in Word with bookmarks at the locations where I want to import the excel data for each device. Each paragraph in the report will pertain to only one electrical device in the spreadsheet (therefore, each paragraph will access one row of data in excel). I would like to create a macro that I can run in Word, that will prompt me for the name of the device and based on the input, it will generate the paragraph template with that device's respective data. Some bookmarks I have created have names like, devicename, amps, voltage, growthrate, transformer. Has anyone done something similar before or know how to do this? Again, any help would be great. Thanks, Kenneth Tag: How do I automatically run macro FileProperties when opening doc Tag: 83344

    - WindowSelectionChange event failing to fire We are seeing a problem at our customer sites, where the WindowSelectionChange event fails to fire, which is interfering with the proper functioning of one of our applications. In order to trace this, we have written a macro which simply declares an object as WithEvents Word.Application, and pops up a message box, when the event fires (see below). Testing at various sites, we have found that the macro fails at a small percentatge of client sites. We know that at least one site is running Word 2003, but we're not sure about the others. The problem always goes away (i.e. the event is always raised) if we keep any custom .DOT's from loading. In one case, we isolated a single .DOT from another vendor, and that vendor was able to figure out that the problem was due to code in the following form: On Error Resume Next Application.Run "macroname" On Error GoTo 0 where "macroname" was invalid, and where the code was excuted through an AutoOpen. That vendor removed the line of code, and the site is now up & running. However, we have found two other sites where the event fails to occur, and where we could isolate a single .DOT which controlled it. In these cases there were two different .DOTs triggering the problem, both of which include AutoOpen processing. However, as far as we can tell (one of those being from another product of ours) neither .DOT contains code in the above format. If you have any idea why this might happen, I would very much appreciate it if you could cc: any reply directly to me, as well as to the group. The test macro is as follows: ---- .bas module ------ Attribute VB_Name = "Test" Option Explicit Private moTest As CTest Sub TestWSC() If moTest Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Starting Test WSC" Set moTest = New CTest Else MsgBox "Stopping Test WSC" Set moTest = Nothing End If End Sub ---- .cls module -------- VERSION 1.0 CLASS BEGIN MultiUse = -1 'True END Attribute VB_Name = "CTest" Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False Attribute VB_Creatable = False Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = False Attribute VB_Exposed = False Option Explicit Private WithEvents moWordApp As Word.Application Attribute moWordApp.VB_VarHelpID = -1 Private Sub Class_Initialize() Set moWordApp = Application End Sub Private Sub moWordApp_WindowSelectionChange(ByVal Sel As Selection) MsgBox "In WindowSelectionChange: Select text: " & vbCr & Sel.Text End Sub Public Property Get WordApp() As Word.Application Set WordApp = moWordApp End Property -- Fletcher James President Levit & James, Inc.

    - Is there a way to remove macros from normal.dot? I am using Word 2000 in a networked environment. I am creating a template for others to use; however, when I put in the macros for the template, I started getting error messages when opening other word documents not associated with the template. The macros are an AutoOpen, AutoClose, EnterKeyMacro. I am creating an online schedule form for our IT department and need the template to be available to everyone else in the department. But, I don't need the error messages when other documents are opened up.

    - Accessing Excel worksheets in a Word document (VB Word macro). Hello, would you please assist me in solving this problem: I have an Excel object (Excel.Sheet.1) in MS Word document. I'm trying to write a Visual Basic macro for MS Word to change the data in cell A1 of this table. How can I access the cell? I'll try to describe the table I have to work with: It's not a Word table. It's rather an Excel object present in my Word document. When it's activated a real Excel table with 3 sheets appears.. and if it's not activated, I just see a simple table which doesn't differ from a regular Word table. I would say it's an Excel OLE placed in the Word document I have to deal with. I was adviced to open Excel by using a filename but I don't have a separate Excel document which I open by using its name... I've applied the next to find out the name of my object: MsgBox ActiveDocument.Fields(1).OLEFormat.ProgID The result is: Excel.Sheet.1 What I've surely succeeded to do is activating the object. And it seems there are various ways of obtaining that, for example: ActiveDocument.Fields(1).DoClick ActiveDocument.Fields(1).OLEFormat.Edit ActiveDocument.Fields(1).OLEFormat.Activate ... and no way known to me to edit the object's contents... I suppose I have to apply DDE to the object in order to open Excel, edit it and then close Excel... I don't know how to do it yet... I hope that it's an easy task some one has already an idea of..

    - How do I stop being prompted to save a template I have a template for a document that includes a command button which when pressed will do a save by assigning a file name based on a text string and looking up a number from a flat file. As part of the save process, the number gets incremented. This all works fine. What doesn't work quite the way I'd like is that when closing a document created off the template, the user is asked if they want to save changes to the template as well as the new document. How can I prevent the prompt on saving changes to the template from appearing? Thanks for any suggestions. John Tag: How do I automatically run macro FileProperties when opening doc Tag: 83272

    - Creating a macro that changes the layout of a form I need to create a macro that changes the layout of a form when the user selects a checkbox, but when I attach the macro to the desired checkbox, the only options are to activate the macro when the use enters or exits the field and not when they 'check' the box. Also, the macro places all of the desired formating additions where the checkbox used to be rather than where I intended for them to go. What can I do? Or, where is a resource that gives detailed descriptions about what I want to do? Tag: How do I automatically run macro FileProperties when opening doc Tag: 83271

    - Error 4120 Bad Parameter What cause Error 4120? Combining some code discussed in my previous Two Questions post, I have put together a macro to validate and tally columns of checkboxes in a table. To duplicate, create a 4 column, 5 row table. Leave the first and last rows blank and the first column blank. Put checkboxes in the remaining cells: The following macro is set to run from a macrobutton in the document: Sub ValidateAndTally() Dim pTable As Word.Table Dim pFormField As FormField Dim pColumnCount&, pColumn&, i&, oLastRow Dim pCount() As Long Dim pColumnFlags() As Boolean Dim x As Long, y As Long, z As Long Dim bValidator As Boolean Set pTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) pColumnCount = pTable.Columns.Count oLastRow = pTable.Rows.Count ReDim pCount(1 To pColumnCount) ReDim pColumnFlags(1 To pColumnCount) On Error GoTo Handler ActiveDocument.Unprotect For Each pFormField In pTable.Range.FormFields pColumn = pFormField.Range.Cells(1).ColumnIndex If pFormField.Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then pColumnFlags(pColumn) = True If pFormField.CheckBox.Value Then pCount(pColumn) = pCount(pColumn) + 1 End If End If Next bValidator = True For x = 2 To pTable.Rows.Count - 1 With pTable.Rows(x) z = 0 For y = 2 To pTable.Columns.Count If .Cells(y).Range.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value = True Then z = z + 1 End If Next y Select Case z Case Is = 0 MsgBox "You did not answer question " & x - 1 & "." bValidator = False Exit For Case Is > 1 MsgBox "You checked more than one answer to question " & x - 1 & "." bValidator = False Exit For End Select End With Next x For i = 1 To pColumnCount If pColumnFlags(i) Then If bValidator Then pTable.Cell(oLastRow, i).Range.Text = pCount(i) Else pTable.Cell(oLastRow, i).Range.Text = "Not Validated" End If End If Next ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True Exit Sub Handler: If Err.Number = 4605 Then ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True Resume Else MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description End If End Sub When I get it working, it seems to work as expected. However, when I unprotect and edit the form then reprotect, I almost always get errror 4120 bad parameter when I try to fire the macro with the macrobutton. If I then go into the editor and run the macro it runs fine and thereafter runs from the macrobutton without further problem. What is this bad parameter and how do I prevent it from happening.

    - .Styles.Add problem I've run into a problem with case sensitivity and .Styles.Add. Style names are case sensitive (a document can contain styles named "atest" and "ATEST" at the same time). You can add case sensitive style names manually but not using .Styles.Add. For example if I: 1. Add a style named "ATEST" to a document. 2. Run one line macro: ActiveDocument.Styles.Add "atest" I get error 5173 "This style name already exists or is reserved for a built-in style." But if use Format>Style...>New to add a style named "ATEST" to a document and then use Format>Style...>New to add another style named "atest" to the same document there's no problem and both styles co-exist happily. Is there any way around the case-sensitivity of .Styles.Add or am I going to have to rethink the style names? There's several million documents involved in this situation so obviously changing the style names is not trivial. Many thanks for any thoughts...

    - How to find the bottom of a table in VBA From template code I need to place images along the right side of my reports, with text on the left. I currently use a table positioned to the right margin for placing these images. I then fill other tables positioned on the left margin with text. All the tables are of varied length, filled from text read from files. I would like to widen the rows in the text tables once they safetly pass the bottom of the image table, but am finding it very difficult to get the needed information from the 'Range.information' object. If anyone has any solutions for this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Additional info- Version: word 2003 Have tried placing a 'right justified' bookmark under each table in the hopes of finding out it's wdVerticalPositionrelativePage, but this consistantly gives the right margin (even when I see the bookmark is actually 3 inches to the left!) It seems word is measuring from an assumption that my bookmark is right justified so it must be on the margin.) Tag: How do I automatically run macro FileProperties when opening doc Tag: 83245

    - digital signature handling after mail merge I have a Word document (Word XP) with a button hooked to some VBA that performs a mail merge. The VBA hides the button, performs the merge, closes itself and leaves the user with the newly merged document. Works great. The problem occurs when the user goes to save the merged document. Up comes an error: "You have modified a signed project. You do not have the correct key. The digital signature will be discarded." I've seen this message before when someone modifies the VBA on a document where they don't have the digital signature. When I look in the VBA editor for the merged document, there is no code. I assumed that the document created by the mail merge was not copying my VBA code (which is just what I want). But it seems as if the digital signature is still there. And why would this message occur when the document was modified and the code wasn't? Is there a way to remove the digital signature before the mail merge? I tried accessing the Me.Signatures property of the document, but it was empty. Thanks for any assistance, Tag: How do I automatically run macro FileProperties when opening doc Tag: 83239
