Word mailmerge - Visual Basic experts please help!

[Murray Muspratt-Rouse]

I do not speak VBA! I have managed to stop Word from displaying Save As
but have finished up with the Word document displayed, but not the
result of the merge. I have tried inserting the code for
"MailMergeAfterMerge(ByVal Doc As Document, ByVal DocResult As
Document)" but that fails. What I would like is to have the merge
result alone displayed.

I attach the VBA module exported as .bas in a zip file since copying it
as text into Word came out too large.

Many thanks in advance for your help

What exactly are you trying to do.

Copy and paste the code from the module into the body of the message that
you post to the newsgroup.

To explain: - I have recently been asked by a UK charity to help update
their system. I have 'inherited' what has been constructed for them in
Access, with use of Word Mail Merge, controlled by a Visyal Basic
module. I was asked to upgrade to MS Office 2007. As I got it the mail
merge process ended with a Save As display, the original document and
the resuilt of the merge. What I want to achieve is the display of the
merge result alone. By adding SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges I have
got rid of the Save As display, but now only the original document
appears, which allows preview of the result of the merge. I did not
include the VBA code in my original post, because I thought that would
break the rules. I append it below.

If you remove the

objApp.Visible = False

and perhaps replace it with

obj.App.Activate

though that may not be necessary, I think that the result of the merge will
be visible

I do not understand the following part of your code:

Dim intSplitName As Integer
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength = Len(strDocName)
intSplitName = InStrRev(strDocName, "\", , vbTextCompare)
strDocName = Right(strDocName, intLength - intSplitName)


objApp.Windows(strDocName).Activate
objApp.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

If you want to close the mail merge main document without saving it, just
use:

strDocName.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges

[Peter Jamieson]

Broadly speaking you will be better off making a reference to the mail
merge main document when you open it, e.g.

Dim objMMMD As Word.Document
'
'
'
Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName, 'etc.
'
'
'
' then when you want to close the mail merge main document, instead of
having to
' work out which window it is in, you can do

objMMMD.Close SaveChanges:=False
'
' then

Set objMMMD = Nothing


Unless an error document has been created, when you merge to a new document,
the new document becomes the ActiveDocument, so you should be able to do
something like

objApp.Visible = True
objApp.Activate

at the end of your code. However, I cannot say I have actually tested that
with your code here.

I agree with Doug about the code he does not understand - since I am no
the original author of this code and do not speak VBA any way I hav
been struggling to find my way to add new function to the application.

The merge document is selected by the user from an Access table i
which the full path to the file is stored, so what the code that w
cannot understand does is to strip off the path to the document fro
strDocName: -
Dim intSplitName As Integer
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength = Len(strDocName)
intSplitName = InStrRev(strDocName, "\", , vbTextCompare)
strDocName = Right(strDocName, intLength - intSplitName)


objApp.Windows(strDocName).Activate
objApp.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
So perhaps what the last line does is to shut the new document, sinc
the original merge document is displayed. I have tried commenting ou
this code but that only results in an error. I will try changin
ActiveWindow in the last line to strDocName!

Many thanks for your time and trouble

Actually, I did know what the code was doing, but did not understand why.

However, I suggest that you follow the advice given by Peter Jamieson and
use

Dim objMMMD As Word.Document
'
'
'
Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName, 'etc.
'
'
'
' then when you want to close the mail merge main document, instead of
having to
' work out which window it is in, you can do

objMMMD.Close SaveChanges:=False
'
' then

Set objMMMD = Nothing

Thank you Doug for referring me to Peter Jamieson's advice. I hav
immediately run in to a problem - it does not like 'objMMMD A
Word.Document' telling me 'User-defined type not defined' an
suggesting that it might be in a properly registered object or typ
library. Did I misunderstand Peter's advice? Was I meant to chang
objMMMD to something else?

Murray

Actually, I did know what the code was doing, but did not understan
why.

However, I suggest that you follow the advice given by Peter Jamieso
and
use

Dim objMMMD As Word.Document
'
'
'
Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName, 'etc.
'
'
'
' then when you want to close the mail merge main document, instead of
having to
' work out which window it is in, you can do

objMMMD.Close SaveChanges:=False
'
' then

Set objMMMD = Nothing

I agree with Doug about the code he does not understand - since I a
not
the original author of this code and do not speak VBA any way I have
been struggling to find my way to add new function to th
application.

The merge document is selected by the user from an Access table in
which the full path to the file is stored, so what the code that we
cannot understand does is to strip off the path to the document from
strDocName: -
Dim intSplitName As Integer
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength = Len(strDocName)
intSplitName = InStrRev(strDocName, "\", , vbTextCompare)
strDocName = Right(strDocName, intLength - intSplitName)


objApp.Windows(strDocName).Activate
objApp.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
So perhaps what the last line does is to shut the new document, since
the original merge document is displayed. I have tried commenting out
this code but that only results in an error. I will try changing
ActiveWindow in the last line to strDocName!

Many thanks for your time and trouble

That is probably because the Word Object library has not been referenced via
the Tools|References option in Access VBA. However, the original author may
have avoided that deliberately because when you reference a library, the
reference is to a specific version of Word.

You can typically work around that using the following instead (you just
don't see the autocomplete Help in the VBA editor that you would otherwise
get)

Dim objMMMD As Object

I am very grateful to Peter for his advice - this morning I realise
that I should have googled objMMMD. When I did that I found some of hi
postings on the web and started looking for Microsoft Office 12.0 Objec
Library, Trying to reference it showed it to be missing, so I tried t
find its name and location. What I saw was cut off at c:\Progra
Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\M - and I could not make the pop u
any wider!

I have tried Dim objMMMD As Object - the result was a compile erro
with a syntax error on Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Ope
FileName:=strDocName etc. I must locate the Object Library an
regioster it, I think.

See Peter's previous message in which he says to use

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, etc )

Probably all that you really need of that command is:

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName,
AddToRecentFiles:=False )

And that is on the assumption that you do not want the document to be added
to the list of most recently used files.

If that is not an issue, you can simply use

Set objMMMD = obj.App.Documents.Open(strDocName)

[Murray Muspratt-Rouse]

While thanking Peter and Doug for their advice I have to say that I have
a major problem - I am not sure what objMMMD is. Does it stand for Mail
Merge Main Document or something like that? If so is it meant to be
used to identify the document set up with merge fields, so as to make
it possible to close it without closing the result of the merge or
whatever? If I am right then I think I understand what I must do to use
it in the VBA code.

Also, because the References pop-up only shows me the first character
of the module name (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE12\M) I do not whether one of the 12 dlls i can see is the
right one!

objMMMD is just a "label" assigned to a document object which by the command

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, etc )

is being set to the document with the file name of strDocName, which I
believe is your mailmerge main document.

having done that, you can refer to that document by the label that is
assigned to the object.

There is nothing special about the MMMD other than it conveys some meaning
as you have deduced to the use of a person reading the code

You could just as well have used:

Dim doc as Object
Set doc = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, etc )

but then doc does not convey as much intelligence to the user, other than it
probably refers to a document, but which one.

While thanking Peter and Doug for their advice I have to say that I have
a major problem - I am not sure what objMMMD is. Does it stand for Mail
Merge Main Document or something like that? If so is it meant to be
used to identify the document set up with merge fields, so as to make
it possible to close it without closing the result of the merge or
whatever? If I am right then I think I understand what I must do to use
it in the VBA code.

Also, because the References pop-up only shows me the first character
of the module name (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE12\M) I do not whether one of the 12 dlls i can see is the
right one!

Murray

See Peter's previous message in which he says to use

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, etc )

Probably all that you really need of that command is:

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName,
AddToRecentFiles:=False )

And that is on the assumption that you do not want the document to be
added
to the list of most recently used files.

If that is not an issue, you can simply use

Set objMMMD = obj.App.Documents.Open(strDocName)

Doug, thank you for confirming my guess! I have in fact used 'Dim objMM

produced 3 letters was that I got only one. For the moment I intend t
leave things as they are (without the objMMD code), so that users wil

course, there is a solution for the problem I have described!

While thanking Peter and Doug for their advice I have to say that I
have
a major problem - I am not sure what objMMMD is. Does it stand for
Mail
Merge Main Document or something like that? If so is it meant to be
used to identify the document set up with merge fields, so as to make
it possible to close it without closing the result of the merge or
whatever? If I am right then I think I understand what I must do to
use
it in the VBA code.

Also, because the References pop-up only shows me the first character
of the module name (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE12\M) I do not whether one of the 12 dlls i can see is
the
right one!

See Peter's previous message in which he says to use

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, etc )

Probably all that you really need of that command is:

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName,
AddToRecentFiles:=False )

And that is on the assumption that you do not want the document to be
added
to the list of most recently used files.

If that is not an issue, you can simply use

Set objMMMD = obj.App.Documents.Open(strDocName)

Hope this helps.

I think I have overcome the Tools/References problem, but now I have
another one: - I get an compile error message telling me that End of
Statement was expected, highlighting FileName in the statement to
which
I have added 'Set objMMMD ='

Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName,
ConfirmConversions:=False, _
ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False _
, PasswordDocument:="", _
PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="",
_
WritePasswordTemplate:="", XMLTransform:=""

That is probably because the Word Object library has not been
referenced
via
the Tools|References option in Access VBA. However, the original
author
may
have avoided that deliberately because when you reference a library,
the
reference is to a specific version of Word.

You can typically work around that using the following instead (you
just
don't see the autocomplete Help in the VBA editor that you would
otherwise
get)

Dim objMMMD As Object

Thank you Doug for referring me to Peter Jamieson's advice. I have
immediately run in to a problem - it does not like 'objMMMD As
Word.Document' telling me 'User-defined type not defined' and
suggesting that it might be in a properly registered object or type
library. Did I misunderstand Peter's advice? Was I meant to change
objMMMD to something else?
