Word Mail Merge->PDF->Auto Name
I am trying to think of a way to automate a process. Part of this is in word and part with Adobe. Basically, here is the scenario. Every year all the staff in the company (about 350-400 employees) get evaluated and then their compensation is recalculated and an employment contract sent to them for the next year. The contract is in PDF form which they digitally sign and return to the company. Right now the process is like this: A spreadsheet is created with all the employee specific information. The spreadsheet data is merged with the standard employment agreement based on their title. The merge creates a different document for each employee which must then be saved (named with the employee name), converted to a PDF, and then a digital signature is requested via Adobe. I would like to automate this whole procedure. I would like to mail merge, save each document as a Word Doc and then a PDF under the employee's name. Once I have all of that, I would like to get PDF to send out all the documents via email (which will be in the spreadsheet too). I am a programmer so code does not scare me in the least. I am just not sure of the approach to take. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Access fixes released in Version 2410
Initial release Version 2410 (Build 18129.20116). Bug Name Issue Fixed Memory leak when using the Properties collection in VBA code Every time there was a reference to the Properties collection (e.g. obj.Properties("Text")) in VBA code, Access would leak memory. If this was done a large number of times, the memory usage of Access could increase significantly. Please continue to let us know if this is helpful and share any feedback you have.
Inconsistent Results Referencing Nested Subreport Property
I have placed several subreports in an unbound report's Report Header. Each subreport has two subreports. I'm trying to get the value of the Top property of the first of these sub-subreports, but I'm getting inconsistent results. The reference I'm (currently) using in the OnLoad event of the main report is: intSubSubTop = Me.Controls(strSub1).Report.Controls(strSubSub1).Top This works perfectly when I switch from Design View to Print View, but I get a runtime error (2455: the expression "has an invalid reference to the property Form/Report") when I open the report from the navigation pane. What's the difference between these two actions? I've tried different variations to no avail. What do I need to do to make it work consistently? I'm using Access 2010 on Windows 10 Pro
VBA: DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy not working
I have a Rich Text Formatted Access field on a subform that I need to copy to the clipboard. Because Writeline doesn't have a FormattedText option, I can't simply write the field to the clipboard. Doing that copies it with the code and unformatted text. So instead, I'm trying to use DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy Here's the code: 'set focus on subform Me![Case Attachments subform].SetFocus 'go to the last record on the subform DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast 'Copy the Field value DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy The copy isn't working. The clipboard is empty. Interestingly, when I add a debug test right before the acCmdCopy: Dim tryit As String tryit = Me![Case Attachments subform].Form![Doc Description].Text MsgBox (tryit) it shows me that tryit equals the text I need to copy. I.e., I have the right field selected in its entirety. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work or alternatives to copy the rich text to the clipboard so it can be paste correctly. (And, before you offer, NO, I don't want to write VBA code to jump over to Word, create a new file, paste it there, copy it, and delete the Word file).Access Europe Meeting - Wed 7 Feb

Hello, I have a question. When I get the value of a cell from a table in Word, it always brings it with an unknown character. If we activate "Show All" we see that there is a respective symbol for each cell, although each part of a document has its own symbol, like space, section break, page break, paragraph, etc. In fact, I get, for the example of this post, the value of a paragraph and it gives it to me clean, without any character. So, I don't understand what is that character that brings the value of the cell, do you know what is that character and do you know what other way there is to extract the value cleaner without that character? I show you in the screenshot the solution I gave to this problem (it is as a comment), but I would like to know if you have another way to solve this issue.Access 2019 - List Box.Requery event on Main Form causes Sub Form Current event to trigger
I have a simple Main Form with one SubForm. On the Main Form I have a ListBox called "listItems" whose RowSource is set to a Query. If I issue a listItems.Requery, the Current event of the SubForm is triggered. Why is this happening? And is it possible to prevent the SubForm current event from triggering?
