I keep getting error 91, object variable or with block varible not set.... frustrating

[@tammybergen5244]

Hi, Steve! Your videos have helped me in my project immensely, and I truly appreciate them, thank you! I hope this question helps others. I have a single word document in which I will need to run four separate loops. I think the best way to do this would be to run the first loop, save the document, run the second loop and append the data to the document, save again, then repeat the append and save steps for loops three and four. The other option is to do the first loop and immediately move into the next loop before doing the save. I cannot use a query, as loop one uses a single record for the customer, but the second, third and fourth loops use different sets of multiple records for the same customer.The downside of the second choice is, I believe, that the data is deleted as it is written at the end of each loop if it is not saved, as shown in your video. The code for multiple loops on a single document has me stymied. I believe the first option, where the data is saved before running the second loop, is the correct choice. However, after doing the save, do I close the word document and then reopen it using wdoc.content.insertafter, or do I leave it open and immediately proceed into the next loop? There will be multiple users, so speed is a consideration. If I do use the wdoc.content.insertafter coding, how would you suggest it be written in? This is my best guess in a stripped down version. My concern is that each time it saves, it will overwrite the form and remove the previously saved information, even though the bookmarks are in different locations. Please let me know where I've gone wrong? Perhaps, if you have time, suggest an alternative that would be more conducive than the approaches I have constructed? Thank you again, you are an incredibly gifted and generous teacher!

[@ProgrammingMadeEZ]

Why not save all of the values to variables and just keep concatenating until all of your loops are done. Then insert the values from your variables into the word doc?

[@tammybergen5244]

I think I'm confused. Could you please be a little more specific? For example, how can I save a value into a variable if the value has not yet been set? If the value keeps concatenating, by the time it's done, each value of the variable would be very long. I don't think I'm seeing what you are trying to communicate. I'm sorry. Help?

[@ProgrammingMadeEZ]

You are looping through records. Store the values from your records to a variable in VBA. Then when you're done looping through all of your records send the variable value to the bookmark.

[@tammybergen5244]

You are super fast in your replies! I think I'm starting to understand it. Btw, I just looked at the original code I uploaded, and *PHEW* all the pretty formatting I spent 15 minutes setting up is gone! My embarrassed apologies... I have 114 fields. Would I need to create 114 variables, one for each field and bookmark?

[@amrelbendary3261]

Hi Steve...Thanks for the great video...I need to ask here if I have option to add the word template to the access resources instead of my computer?

[@purnagiri]

Thank You for making such a wonderful video. Does it still work in Access 2019? I am not getting the Bookmarks control when I am trying to assigning field name to bookmarks field.

[@gochocitizen]

Programming Made EZ, Great video! Thank you so much. One quick question: The video explains how to create a new doc for every record read; however, in my case, I have to populate a table in Word with however many records I read from my Access table. I save the Word document only when I reach EOF on my Access table. So, how do you do this? I can create Bookmarks for the first record, but how do I define Bookmarks for the second row on my Word table? Second, third, etc.

[@annatamaoka2797]

What a wonderful explanation! Thank you so much. I'm excited to use this method.

[@ildarf.4057]

Great video, thank you. Just one note. When I use "Text Form Field" instead of "Bookmarks" for setting the place of each added word, I don't have to add coding to delete the words after each created file and the rest, as you showed on "deleting data" part. The code just creates the files with unique name and its corresponded unique data. The code is slightly different for that. I am not smart, just combined this code and the one from the similar method from T Golden Eye channel. Both are good.

[@cheltboy]

Thanks, very helpful. Liked the "Mad" use of Alfred E Neuman.

Many thanks to you Steve. You have helped me a lot. I have two questions Can I open the Microsoft word to print the info from access form by clicking a button? Could the source be a query instead of a table? appreciated!

[@josrienties2938]

First of thanks for the good explanation. As a complete novice to Access, gathering bits and pieces everywhere this helped a lot. One question I do have. In my table I also use check boxes. What do I need to add so that it also converts check boxes into word?

[@mohammedawaishameed3268]

Hi thank you for your video. It has helped a lot. I have a question if one of the fields in Access table is a lookup field referrigng to a list from another table how do I amend your code to show the text from the list rather than its unique ID as this is what is happening when I try your code.

[@garycurtis]

Very informative video, it helped a great deal. One question, what is the best way to print the Doc before it is saved?

[@kaylendao9647]

Thank u so much for your videos. I was able to use your code and merged to a word document template. However, my Word template has a table. Can you advise how I fill down a table template with the records in a query? I tried to search for this on the internet and wasn’t able to find help anywhere.

Steve, Great tutorial. A question. I'm using ACCESS 1016. I entered the sample code as your were entering it on the video. I watched the video three times and got all of the compile errors out of the way then wanted to run the code. I tried to save it and lo and behold, there isn't a save or save as function on the files tab. Am I missing a permissions setting or have you got any idea. I tried running the code the first line "Dim wApp As Word.Application" throws a "/compile error" "user-defined type not defined". Any ideas?

[@rafaelmena1430]

thanks... very good. I was looking something like that. but How do I just print one record in World.... lets say that I only want to sent to the docx document one record.

[@ProgrammingMadeEZ]

Then instead of making your recordset the entire table, do a SQL Query that pulls the one record.

[@bryanpotter5606]

Do you have a video that covers this same material but multiple records for one document? Say for instance you want a template paragraph for a record using a bookmark and then you want that same paragraph created for the same bookmark but a different record within the same document. In short it would loop through the records and add the template table or paragraph for each record as needed. Thanks for the video it's great.

[@kadnacer7571]

Hello steve, thank's for this great and helpful tutorial. Can you give us more exemples on how ms word work with ms access and also can we do the opposite, it mean's instead of exporting data to ms word, can we import data to ms access from ms word.

[@SuperGeofreak]

Thank you! Exactly what I needed!

[@abdullahquhtani4247]

Is it possible to print a specific record (not all records), for example search for a specific record through record ID, then export the record details to the word document. That what makes this code useful, otherwise mail merge can do the same thing. Thank you. BTW, do you have full courses like this on Udemy for example so that we can buy.

[@drtonys.6963]

Yes, create a query and select the control that is used to specify the record

[@kadnacer7571]

many for this very helpful video. it would be so great if you show us more videos about advanced things when exporting data from access to word like tables......

[@andybailey2245]

Hi Steve, thank you so much for your videos, with no computer skill they have helped me build a database from nothing. However I am having an issue with the use of a query as a recordset. I have a query with data from 2 tables and the data from the fist table comes through ok but stops when it get to the second table. It come up with a runtime error and says that the collection is not available. If I put the data in to the first table it comes through ok. Am I doing something silly as this is driving me mad. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@lupitchr1]

I keep getting an error, and when I debug, it's going to the open line...but I'm closing the program manually each time before I run the code? I've also looked in task manager and seen that the only thing it shows is MSACCESS. Each time I have to open task manager, find the 'file in use' application and end it. Which is when I debug and it takes me to the wApp open line. Any ideas what could be causing that issue? Nevermind, I got it to work. I wasn't keeping my house tidy with a few of the objects, so it was leaving winword open. THanks for the Tut!

[@007Dcastillo]

Hey man, your video was so helpful to me but i wonder if i can do this without do while. just generate a single word file depending on which id i'm on.

[@ProgrammingMadeEZ]

What don't you understand to do?

[@007Dcastillo]

Programming I did everything on the video and worked fine. But when i have too many records, the code does a loop on the whole table before the last record added. For example if i add a new record with file number 3, it would be nice if it only generate only that file, whithout 1 or 2. I hope you understand what i mean.

[@007Dcastillo]

Programming When you have 100 records and you add a new one, that code needs to loop on the previous 100 to reach the 101, i would like to generate a single word file depending on which record i'm on.

[@ProgrammingMadeEZ]

Then just don't do a loop. Use a SQL String to get the one record you want for your recordset.

[@007Dcastillo]

Programming Ok, ¿any suggestion to find a tutorial to do that?

[@ikesinachiajah8248]

What is the limit on each field you send to word (how many characters per field (maximum))?

The problem I'm having is ridiculous, however I have to deal with it.

The problem might be to do with the table names, however being I'm a little older and new to Microsoft Access I don't know how to get around the following: the form in the share-point asks questions like - Number of shifts, Work-site Type and Work From Suburb etc. Being questions are two and three word questions when it is converted to Microsoft access the table names appear asd those questions. Then when I set up the word document 'Bookmarks' it only excepts the questions as a single word and doesn't seem to recognise the multi word table names? And I have no idea how to get around that?

Hi steve, what about importing data from ms word table to ms access? think you again for this wonderful course that's help me to improve my database.

I will probably not be going over that since it is very complicated and frankly shouldn't be done. Word is not a place for storing data. It's understandable with Excel, but Word documents are meant for output, not input.

Thank you

You're welcome!

After your second pass through the word documents' creations, where the third letter's information was missing, you should have said, "And like that [poof], it's gone."

Great Tutorial. I know you can help me with this. I need to get the data from a Word Form and put it in a Access Table. The problem is that the Word Form Fields are NOT setup in Column - Row format as Access and Excel. It is set up like this for example: Please Advise and thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. First Name: TJ Last Name: Johnson Middle Name: Marie Address: 123 Any Street City: Any town State: Any State Phone Number: 111-111-1111 and so on.
