yes, you need to copy the code from the first buttong and paste it under another button then change the code to open different doc like file name, location and the field name on another doc.

austin72406 I got it to work. Thanks. I was getting an "ambiguous name" message when I did the copy and paste but all I had to do was rename the fillwordform to fillwordfowm1. I was also wondering how, if possible, can you do checkboxes the same way as your tutorial for text into word? I have the text importing into word but I have checkbox that I want to import as well.

the document is already open by VBA code in Access, but it is not on your current application that you're using, so it shows as blinking word icon on the task bar. you just click that icon to view the word.

do you set the reference to MS Word?

yes i did.

Here is the code. i don't know if i missed something: Function openword(conPath As String) Dim appword As Word.Application Dim doc As Word.Document On Error Resume Next Error.Clear Set appword = GetObject(, "word.Application") If Error.Number o Then Set appword = New Word.Application appword.Visible = True End If Set doc = appword.Documents.Open(conPath, , True) appword.Activate Set doc = Nothing Set appword = Nothing End Function Private Sub Command22_Click() Dim mydoc As String mydoc = "C:\Documents and Settings\TOSHIBA\My Documents\Custice\kund avtal.docx" Call openword(mydoc) End Sub

you can create a table for list of document name and have field for the address of that word document. now when you select document from a drowload then will open the word document.

austin72406 I have a table of document names and a table of links (to bookmarks in the document) I can get the file to open separately in msword but i want it to open it in the form itself. thanks , i hope this clears it up

I'd love to hear an answer to this

many reasons can happen. good thing at least it opens MS word. next step to make sure code is to open your word file at the correct location/file path.

+austin72406 how can we open any file that we upload in database .... not just one file like your case (your file : Query ....etc)

can you upload your code here? I will take a look.

austin72406 Option Compare Database Function openword(conPath As String) Dim appword As Word.Application Dim doc As Word.Document On Error Resume Next Error.Clear Set appword = GetObject(, "word.application") If Err.Number 0 Then Set appword = New Word.Application appword.Visible = True End If Set doc = appword.Documents.Open(conPath, , True) appword.Activate Set doc = Nothing Set appword = Nothing End Function Private Sub Command24_Click() Dim mydoc As String mydoc = "D:\2014 Inspections\To Be Sorted\Main Inspection Form.docx" Call openword(mydoc) End Sub

austin72406 Thats the code I have entered same from your video. I save it open form and when I click the button nothing happens at all. I don't know what step I missed I dont even get error message.

I tested your code with my file location. It works. Maybe you need to do Compact and Repair file.
