Multiple subform records and MailMerge

[bwyrwitzke]

Another MailMerge question for you…

I have a main form with multiple subforms, and in one case a nested subform that I’m attempting to export to MS Word using a slightly modified version of the MailMerge code that I found on this forum. So far, everything is progressing well, but I’m hung up on my attempt to pass ALL of the subform (and nested subform) records to Word.

Here’s the current code that I’m using:

Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
   ' Check for empty fields and unsaved record.
   
   
   If Me.Dirty Then
     If MsgBox("Record has not been saved. " & Chr(13) & _
         "Do you want to save it?", vbInformation + vbOKCancel) = vbOK Then
       DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
     Else
       Exit Sub
     End If
   End If
        
   ' Create a Word document from template.
   Dim WordApp As Word.Application
   Dim strTemplateLocation As String
   
   
   ' Specify location of template
   strTemplateLocation = "C:\resumes\template1.dot"
   
      
   On Error Resume Next
   Set WordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
     Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
   End If
   On Error GoTo ErrHandler
   
   
   WordApp.Visible = True
   WordApp.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
   WordApp.Documents.Add Template:=strTemplateLocation, NewTemplate:=False
    
   ' Replace each bookmark with field contents.
   With WordApp.Selection
   
'data from main form
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="name"
     .TypeText (name_first & " " & name_last)
   
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="summary"
     .TypeText [experience_summary]
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="certifications"
     .TypeText [certifications]
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="clearance"
     .TypeText [clearance]
     
'data from subfrmEducation
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="degree"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEducation.Form!degree

     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="school"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEducation.Form!school
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="yrs_attended"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEducation.Form!yrs_attended
     
'data from subfrmEmploymentHistory
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="employer"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!employer
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="employer_location"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!employer_location
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="title"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!Title
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="date_start"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!date_start
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="date_end"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!date_end
     
'data from nested subfrmProjects
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="project_title"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!subfrmProjects.Form!project_title
          
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="project_description"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmEmploymentHistory.Form!subfrmProjects.Form!project_description
     
'data from subfrmPublications
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="pub_author"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmPublications.Form!pub_author
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="pub_title"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmPublications.Form!pub_title
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="pub_forum"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmPublications.Form!pub_forum
     
     .Goto what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="pub_date"
     .TypeText Me!subfrmPublications.Form!pub_date

   End With
    
   DoEvents
   WordApp.Activate
    
   Set WordApp = Nothing
   Exit Sub

ErrHandler:
Set WordApp = Nothing

End Sub

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
