Inserting database information
I have a form that when someone puts in an abbreviation for one of our
company codes we want it to automatically query a database and fill in the rest of the data fields related to our code. (i.e. type in code word, get related phone #, email address,etc. fields automatically filled in) Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? Thanks. |

Inserting database information
This routine loads a listbox with client details stored in a table in a
separate document (which makes it easy to maintain with additions, deletions etc.), that document being saved as Clients.Doc for the following code. On the UserForm, have a list box (ListBox1) and a Command Button (CommandButton1) and use the following code in the UserForm_Initialize() and the CommandButton1_Click() routines Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim sourcedoc As Document, i As Integer, j As Integer, myitem As Range, m As Long, n As Long ' Modify the path in the following line so that it matches where you saved Clients.doc Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' Open the file containing the client details Set sourcedoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="e:\worddocs\Clients.doc" ) ' Get the number or clients = number of rows in the table of client details less one i = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count - 1 ' Get the number of columns in the table of client details j = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Columns.Count ' Set the number of columns in the Listbox to match ' the number of columns in the table of client details ListBox1.ColumnCount = j ' Define an array to be loaded with the client data Dim MyArray() As Variant 'Load client data into MyArray ReDim MyArray(i, j) For n = 0 To j - 1 For m = 0 To i - 1 Set myitem = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Cell(m + 2, n + 1).Range myitem.End = myitem.End - 1 MyArray(m, n) = myitem.Text Next m Next n ' Load data into ListBox1 ListBox1.List() = MyArray ' Close the file containing the client details sourcedoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim i As Integer, Addressee As String Addressee = "" For i = 1 To ListBox1.ColumnCount ListBox1.BoundColumn = i Addressee = Addressee & ListBox1.Value & vbCr Next i ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Addressee").Range.Insert After Addressee UserForm2.Hide End Sub The Initialize statement will populate the listbox with the data from the table and then when a client is selected in from the list and the command button is clicked, the information for that client will be inserted into a bookmark in the document. You may want to vary the manner in which it is inserted to suit our exact requirements, but hopefully this will get you started. To make it easy for you, the code has been written so that it will deal with any number of clients and any number of details about each client. It assumes that the first row of the table containing the client details is a header row. -- Hope this helps.
