    - Making VBA project to .exe? Hello All, A standard VB project can be made into a standalone .exe app distributable to anyone, even if it contains an Access .mdb file. Is this possible with VBA? For example, I would like to take advantage of the power of Excel to write a program, but wonder if I could then make the program as an independent app and distribute it to end-users who don't have Excel on their computers. My research has not yet confirmed this one way or the other. And, although not a VBA question, does anyone have a suggestion on perhaps another database S/W program (such as dBASE) that would allow me to accomplish the same goal? Thanks for your expertise and your time. Nick Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106888

    - Creating template - want to add a macro to fill in header informat Office Assistant at my company is creating a template. Each time the template is used the header and footer information will change. Is there some way to have a box or macro pop up that will prompt the user of the template to complete this information before opening the template? I was thinking of something similar to what happens when you use a letter template. Thank you very much for your assistance. Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106885

    - opening and modifying documents without modifying attached templat Although this not a strict vba question, some knowledge of the object model could be of help, I think. My question: In some cases (but certainly not all!) after opening a document and immediately closing it again or closing it after modification (either saving these modifications or not), it happens that I'm prompted if I want to save modifications in the attached template. As far as I know no modifications have been made though. Nevertheless probably some property of some object has been changed upon opening. What could this be? How can I identify this? And most important: how can I avoid this?? Thanks for any help! Peter (I've been thinking of something like styles which differ between the document and the template; or updating a property like 'date last opened' or so...) Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106881

    - automating style formatting Help! For the first time Iâ??m trying to use the formatting features of Word 2007. I have a 2500 page commentary which Iâ??v cleared of all formatting to start with. Then I began to define in my mind what is to be defined as Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. As you might conclude the designation of over 400,000 verses and over 100,000 references etc will take the remainder of my mortal life. Now I have a project for the first eternity in heaven. Wrong. I need to use the automated features of Word to help me in the massive formatting job. I think the key might b in Search and Replace. How do I use search and replace to change a format a line to Heading 3 TOPIC â?? Redemption See Appendix A Or a scripture verse to Heading 2 Genesis 4:9 or John 12:5 When there are 66 books and thousands of verses? Also how can I redefine the format I want as opposed to the preset formats in Change Style? Is the tool I need Find and Replace? Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106863

    - DocumentBeforeClose event not always working I have a document protected for forms which I will be emailing out. I need the users to complete one of the fields before closing the document. Using the Help files, I created a macro to run on the DocumentBeforeClose event. The Help files stated that you must create a separate Class Module to post the code in. And it also said to create an event handler macro that must be run before it will work. I did these things and the code works after running the event handler macro. However, do you have to run that macro every time the document is opened? The code will not execute in subsequent openings of the file, unless the event handler macro is run again. Isn't there a way to make everything run smoothly without having to run that macro every time the document is opened? Here is the code. I have a Class Module called EventClassModule with the following code (I also have a DocumentOpen event, in the same class module and having the same issues): Public WithEvents appWord As Word.Application ----- Private Sub appWord_DocumentBeforeClose _ (ByVal Doc As Document, _ Cancel As Boolean) Dim BusJust If ActiveDocument.FormFields("txt_BusJust").Result = "" Then MsgBox ("You must complete the" & Chr(10) & "BUSINESS JUSTIFICATION(S)" & Chr(10) _ & "field before closing this document.") Cancel = True ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("txt_BusJust").Select End If ----- Private Sub appWord_DocumentOpen(ByVal Doc As Document) ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False End Sub Then, in the NewMacros module, I have the following code: Sub Register_Event_Handler() Set X.appWord = Word.Application End Sub Thanks for your help.

    - What could be wrong ? Hi all, Hoping someone may be able to offer some advice.. We were encountering a problem running our software which calls word via OLE on a clients machine who happens to have upgraded to word 2007. I use word 2007 and other clients use Word2007 and the program works fine - so to narrow the problem down I created a small document with a macro.. all the macro does is set Application.options.savenormalprompt to false. Now for some reason on all word 2003 and most word 2007 machines this runs fine, but on one client it fails with a Bad Parameter message. Does anyone have any idea where it might be failing on this particular isntallation ? Thanks for any thoughts... Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106859

    - Flesch Score - programmatically possible Hi all. I know it is possible to get the Flesch readability ease score / grade by checking the option in grammer & spelling, then running a spell check... the value is displayed at the end. Is it possible to force a 'silent' check and programmatically get this result, or maybe run the check without it prompting user input for any found problems... it would then run through to end stats... ActiveDocument.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = False makes no difference... can't seem to find much searching this group... maybe i'm looking in the wrong place. any guidance greatly appreciated.

    - Identify page on which a bookmark is located I have code (obtained from this group in response to an earlier question) to print only the part of a document between two bookmarks. The following works inconsistently. Details are after the code. The code itself is in an Add-In. Dim x1 As Long ' start character of bookmark Dim x2 As Long ' end character of bookmark Dim p1 As Long ' start page Dim p2 As Long ' end page Dim rTmp As Range Set rTmp = ActiveDocument.Range ' Allow for a bookmark at the beginning of document If rTmp.Bookmarks("DocStart").Range.Start = 0 Then x1 = 1 Else x1 = rTmp.Bookmarks("DocStart").Range.Start End If x2 = rTmp.Bookmarks("DocEnd").Range.End p1 = rTmp.Characters(x1).Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) p2 = rTmp.Characters(x2).Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) ActiveDocument.PrintOut _ Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:=CStr(p1), To:=CStr(p2) Set rTmp = Nothing When the bookmarks DocStart and DocEnd are on the same page (so that only one page is printed, which is the case most of the time) it seems to work as intended. However, in other situations the results are mixed at best. For instance, DocStart is on page 7, but p1 is 9 when I step through the code. In the same document, if DocEnd is on page 8, it is identified as 11. That is, the variables p1 and p2 are 9 and 11 rather than 7 and 8. Another problem I have noted is that I cannot find a place for the DocEnd bookmark in a two-page document (I want to print both pages) that is not identifed as either page 1 or page 3. However, if I use the Word Count toolbar to count the number of characters, and replace x2 with that number (e.g. 2408), this line properly identifies p2 as 2: p2 = rTmp.Characters(x2).Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) If I do not manually set x2 to 2408, it is identified as something like 4500 (which is more than the total number of characters in the document), and that line of code throws the following error: 5941 - The expected member of the collection does not exist That is all the information I have been able to obtain. The problem seems to be the same whenever it occurs: the character position of the bookmarks (the variables x1 and x2) are not identified properly. If I could identify the page on which each of the bookmarks is located, I could get the code to do what is needed. If this is not possible, I could settle for setting the variables p1 and p2 manually for documents in which problems occur, and have the code above start by testing whether the variables already have a value, and using that value instead of the values generated by the code, or something like that. I would rather not do that, but I can accept a workaround if necessary. I am using Word 2003. If it matters, the code above is designed to include the header and footer in the printout. Other code with which I experimented did not print the header and footer. It is better by far if I can include the header and footer. Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106840

    - Rotating a logo in header Hello, I am developing a template (Report.dot) in MS Word XP. This template contains a macro that inserts a new page, oriented landscape. The contents of the header and footer on this page must be rotated and re-positioned on the right and left edge of the page (using ranges and frames) so that when the final document is printed and assembled, all headers and footers are consistent. My problem is when I try to select and rotate the logos (jpeg images), I get the following runtime error : "-2147024891 This member cannot be accessed at this time". The code I am using is as follows: Dim rngHeadr As Range Dim shpLogo As Shape With ActiveDocument.Sections(intSectionID) Set rngHeadr = .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range End With For Each shpLogo In rngHeadr.ShapeRange shpLogo.Select ' <- Error occurs here Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementRotation 90# Next Can anyone give me a work-around ?

    - 2007 looking for xp object library Hi, I created a template in Word XP which automates a tender document creation procedure for our sales guys. We have now all been upgraded to Office 2007. Since our upgrade this procedure no longer works, I suspect that it may be down to only having Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library available.

    - word used in a service Hello, I have an application which has to run as a windows service. This application create a word instance via a library of mine with the call: word::_ApplicationPtr myApp; myApp.CreateInstance("Word.Application.11"); (it is wrote in VC++) Fom here i have two problems: First i would like Word to use a temporary directory of mine instaed of the global \Windows\temp\ one. I tried tu use _putenv (to set TEMP and TMP) just before calling Createinstance but Word doesn't care and i tried to set the service as a user instead of System but Word keep using the global \Windows\temp\ direectory. What is disturbing me is when i launch the application in a console, not as a service the Word instance use the temp directory specified by _putenv. So my question is: What i have to do to see Word using my specified Temp directory. My second problÃ¨me is when i make a specific treatment with the application launched as a service i get word to "freeze" at a certain point. I am quite sure it is because it opens a popup dialog and wait until a user answer the question (i got a similar problem before that i solved by catching the popup in console mode and set the corresponding code to not display this dialog again). And I can't see this dialog since word is launched from a service (and there I can't reproduce the problem in console mode). I tried to set a specific user for the service or tried to check the box "Allow service to interact with desktop" but i got nothing. So my second question is what can i do to get what word want? I use the computer where the application is launched with remote connection desktop i hope it does not affect the interactions between services and destop thanks in advance for any advice Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106833

    - If calculation field has 0 result, blank I have several rows in a table, with the last column being a calculated form field of A1*B1. The table has 10 rows, but the user might only fill in 1 or 2 of the rows. For the rows that have no data (essentially, blank Col1 and Col2), the total column always displays a 0 value. How can I make this field display BLANK (or null if you will) if Col1 and Col2 are blank? I know a formula field will do this, but I need it to be a form field, because I use these field further down in more calculations. (essentially need the bookmark name, and a formula field in word does not have a name, so I must use a form field) I have tried formatting the field, as suggested in this webpage http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm And putting the switch as part of the formatting, however, to no avail. \# "$0;($0);" Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106822

    - Word's references I am asking this again in hopes of someone knowing what to do here I have a vs2007 project "MCTClass07" that I created using extensibility add-in for Word 2007. A .dotm is loaded by a third party application that makes reference to MCTClass07 as follows Public MCTai As MCTClass07.Class07 ' The architecture demands that a template provides this entry point. However all other code can be implemented in the .NET code. Public Function MSGatewayInitialize(Odbcstr As String, Libname As String, recordID As Long, docName As String, ByRef rcMsg As String) As Long Set MCTai = Application.COMAddIns.Item("MCTClass07.Connect").Object .... Call MCTai.InitDocument(ActiveDocument, Odbcstr, Libname, recordID) 'get document parts from COM+ .... For all of this to work, I have to load the .dotm file, switch to developer/visual basic (ALT F11), selecte tools/references, locate the MCTClass07.tlb file and add it anc check it. This all works fine as does the .net code The problem occurs (occasionally) as I make changes to the .net code. Sometimes when I initiate the Word process (which loads the .dotm file) I will get a dialog box "could not open macro storage". If I check the tools/reference settings again, I see the MCTClass is checked but labeld as "Missing". I uncheck the reference, close the reference selection dialog, reopen tools/references, locate and check the MCTClass.tlb (still in the list), save the .dotm file and retry my application, everything works fine. This does not happen every time I change the project code. I often transfer the solution and develop on other computers then transfer to solution back to the original development computer. This effort seems to require the dropping of the project and then locate and check it in VBA more often. The registry enrtry for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\MCTClass07.Connect shows the load behavior to be a 3 (which is what it needs to be) So, how does Word come up with the MCTClass07.tlb as "MISSING" and how can I prevent this? Where does Word keep this information about tools\references...? Is it possible to transfer that reference list with selected components to other computers? How can I implant that what should be referenced information to Word. Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106805

    - Capturing a Content Control Range Has anyone figured out a good way to capture a Content Control's Range? I don't mean just the range of its text, but the text and it both. I was working on some code to create a CC bound to CustomXML and then create a BuildingBlock QuickPart of that control. I could never figure out a simple way to define the range for the buidling block. If I simply used .ContentControl(Index).Range the BB was just the text. Here is what I finally put together but hoping one of you has a better way. Basically I wrapped a bookmark around the Content control and then set the BB range to the bookmark range: Sub CreateBoundCC() Dim oCustPart As CustomXMLPart Dim oBMs As Bookmarks Dim oRng As Word.Range Dim oCC As ContentControl Dim oBB As BuildingBlock Dim oTemplate As Template Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks Set oCustPart = ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts.Add oCustPart.Load ("E:\Data Stores\mysample.xml") Set oRng = Selection.Range oRng.End = oRng.End + 1 oBMs.Add "Temp", oRng Set oRng = oBMs("Temp").Range oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart Set oCC = oRng.ContentControls.Add(wdContentControlText) With oCC .Title = "Clien Name" .XMLMapping.SetMapping "/root/A", , oCustPart End With Set oTemplate = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate oBMs("Temp").Range.End = oBMs("Temp").Range.End - 1 Set oRng = oBMs("Temp").Range oBMs("Temp").Delete Set oBB = oTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries.Add("Client Name", wdTypeCustomQuickParts, "My Custom BBs", oRng) Set oCustPart = Nothing Set oBB = Nothing Set oCC = Nothing Set oBMs = Nothing Set oRng = Nothing End Sub Thanks. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

    - Clear Formatting behaviour In Word 2003 on WinXP: If I use Clear Formatting on a string of text that has a character style applied to it, the character style is removed from that string. However, the paragraph style for the paragraph as a whole remains. However, if I protect the document with formatting restrictions, then the behaviour of Clear Formatting changes. In that case, if I use Clear Formatting exactly as described above, then the whole paragraph loses its paragraph style, as well as the character string losing its character style. This discrepancy is the same whether I am using the user interface or VBA. Anybody have any idea why, and what I can do about it?

    - Upgrading from Word and Outlook 2003 to Word and Outlook 2007 I have several macros that "grab" addresses from Outlook and put them into my form/letter in Word in 2003. Now that the upgrade has happened all the autotext and the rest of my code works fine EXCEPT the get address part of the code. It returns the value in my variables, however, it simply does not return the value to the textbox fields in my form and of course does not put it into the final letter document. Here is my code. Again, the variables ( rcpFirstName1, rcpLastName1, rcpAddress1) are returned correctly and the frmContacts.txtName1.Value, frmContacts.txtC1.Value and frmContacts.txtSal1.Value are also returned correctly. However, they do not populate the fields on the dialog nor do they get entered into the final letter. Public Sub cmdOC1_Click() DialogReturn = rcpDisplayName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_DISPLAY_NAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=1) rcpCompanyName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_COMPANY_NAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) rcpFirstName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_GIVEN_NAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) rcpLastName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_SURNAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) rcpBusFaxNo1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_BUSINESS_FAX_NUMBER>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) If rcpCompanyName1 = "" Then strAddress1 = "<PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS>" Else strAddress1 = "<PR_COMPANY_NAME>" & vbCr & "<PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS>" End If rcpAddress1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:=strAddress1, DisplaySelectDialog:=2) 'populate fields in frmContacts If DialogReturn = False Then frmContacts.txtName1.Value = rcpFirstName1 & " " & rcpLastName1 frmContacts.txtC1.Value = rcpAddress1 ' frmContacts.txtSal1.Value = rcpFirstName1 & " " & rcpLastName1 mReturn10 = True Else mReturn10 = False End If End Sub This macro is being used a LOT in quite a few firms so any help would be greatly appreciated! -- CLG Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106738

    - My INSERT FILE is busted Group, I have no clue how I accomplished this, but each time a new MSWORD 2003 document is created, I select INSERT, FILE, it automatically inserts a document from something I've worked with in the past, (I'm not even sure where this documents exists??) I no longer receive the dialog box to choose a picture, a file, etc.., it's already chosen for me. I've reset my toolbar, but still cannot INSERT a FILE of my choice, it automaticaly is choosing it's own file. How can I get behind the INSERT FILE command?? Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106733

    - Corrupted Documents In our very large company, we have documents that have been around for years, been modified by many users, and on different computers. As a result, the documents are getting corrupted. This includes numbering that gets moved, revisions that come and go by themselves, and headers realigning to name a few. Is there any way to restore the document or fix these corruptions? Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106731

    - Word 2007: Options.ReplaceSelection -> Run-time error 4120 Bad Parameter Hi, In April, jalanford wrote a carefully composed message in microsoft.public.word.vba.general on the subject of run-time errors when trying to set a number of parameters like Options.[SomeParameter] via VBA. The problem occured only on some machines with Word 2007 and Windows XP. We can't reproduce it on our machines, and we have no direct access to machines affected by the problem. But we have the same problem with a small number of our customers and are looking for the best way to make our add-in work on their systems - other then writing a patch for our software, which we will do anyway. If the registry is involved, even a patch will probably require some "manual" action by the customer in certain cases. So far, we succest to run our Word add-in on a newly created user account, which worked in all known cases, but is far from ideal, of course. Unfortunately, the discussion then in the newsgroup stopped before someone provided a solution. The only suggestion was to repair the registry, but there was no follow-up. Could jalanford or someone else please give some advice how you worked around the problem? If so, I would try to compile an answer to the problem for the newsgroup. Thanks in advance Hans Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106728

    - Compacting access database using VB Hi, This is actually an MS Access problem, but i thought i'd put it here as well. If anyone can help.... I am working on a database and on a specific form i have a button for 'Compact Database'. Now the code i use to compact onClick of the button is: CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("Database utilities").Controls("Compact and repair database...").accDoDefaultAction This works fine except if a guy in say, japan, uses it and has a japanese language pack, then access cant find "Menu Bar", "Tools", etc. cause they are in english in the code and in japanese in access and a problem occurs. so i wanted to know if there is a different way to compact where i could probably use some internal properties etc. and where language wont be a problem. I need to compact an active database.... Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106723

    - Protected Form Fields in Header Area I have a question regarding the header/footer in a protected form. Is there a way to insert form fields in the header/footer in a protected MS Word form? When an user opens the form file, I'd like the person to go to the header and fill in the form fields, close the header, and then fill in the rest of the form. And the header information should repeat every page of the form. Right now it seems that when protected, the user cannot access the header. Can anyone help me with this issue, if there's a way around it? Thank you! Joy Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106711

    - Automatic update of footer macro I'm posting this for a user who sent me the following query, which I've inserted below as submitted to me: "Hi , Don't know if you know any VBA but I have a problem that I haven't been able to resolve. I don't know any VBA but I can usually cheat by looking something up via google or recording a macro and transferring and altering parts of the code to do what I need it to do. But I haven't been able to figure this one out: I have a footer macro that I set up to include the "last author" and "last modified" items rather than the current date/time and the original author. The problem with my footer is that it doesn't update these items automatically when I save. It will only update if I re-run the macro to insert the footer. (This is the same problem as with using the regular pathname footer in Excel - which doesn't update when you use save as and save a file with the pathname in the footer to a new location.) Sub Footer() ' ' Footer Macro ' Macro recorded 3/26/2007 by atao ' ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = "&8Last Modified by " & ActiveWorkbook. _ BuiltinDocumentProperties("last author").Value & " " & ActiveWorkbook. _ BuiltinDocumentProperties("last save time") & Chr(10) & "&Z&F\&A" ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = "&8&P of &N" End Sub So, I am either trying to find a way for those items to auto-update as does current date and time (when you use &[date] &[time] (which I have a feeling can't be done for Builtin Document Properties or have the macro re-run automatically upon saving. I found something called "OnAction" property that may do the trick when save is pressed but I actually don't know any VBA so I thought maybe you would be able to help me?"

    - Help with inlineshpae textbox hello, I have a form with a number of textboxes embedded as inlineshapes, each of which have a dblclick event assigned to them - this works just fine. I would very much like to have a seperate click event to do something else, but a textbox (as an inline shape) does not have a click event. I tried using a mousedown event, but this activated before I could double click it. Embedded labels do have both click and doubleclick events, and these work but are not what I need for this application. here is what the double click does: , the single click would have to start a different subroutine. Private Sub TBox1_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) TBox1.Text = ChangeTextBoxText(GetILS, TBox1.SelStart, TBox1.Text) End Sub Thanks Jim Tag: today's date in a form Tag: 106694

A shipping log form has many rows; each row represents an individual shipment
on an individual day.

One of the table cells in each row, is Date Shipped.

I wanted to use a Text Form Field, set to "Current Date" so as uses ship
items, they won't have to type in the day's date.

But if I place "Current Date" Text Form Fields in the Date Shipped cell for
each row of the table, they all display the date that I placed them there,
not the date(s) in the future when the user will use my form to log daily
shipments.

It would be more helpful if I could create a dropdown or some other device
that allowed the user to select "Date Shipped", and have today's date (on any
given day) get embedded in the cell.

How is this done? A quick look at the discussions didn't seem to unearth an
answer.
