Input form - output word doc

I have created a form in Excel and want to get it to populate a word template when clicking on a command button. I have tried starting with the code below, but it's telling me there is a runtime error and looks like the error is relating to the file path, which is correct, am I doing the code wrong? would it be easier to do this all in word for a word output document? thanks

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim wapp As Word.Application
Dim wdoc As Word.document
Set wdoc = wapp.documents.Open("J:\smi-uk.ajgco.com\smidata\VOL1\Financial Risks\Ops\Vicki\SoDaN Template.dotx")
wapp.Visible = True
If Me.OptionButton1 = True Then
wdoc.Selection.typetext.Sheet2 Range("b2")
ElseIf Me.OptionButton2 = True Then
wdoc.Selection.typetext.Sheet2 Range("b3")
End If

RE: Input form - output word doc

Hi Vicki,

Thank you for the forum question.

I didn't spot that you missed a very important line in the code you sent me in the email.


You do not create an instance of the Word application object.

Set wapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

The above line will do this. I have placed the line in the code below.





Set wapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim wapp As Word.Application
Dim wdoc As Word.document
Set wapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Set wdoc = wapp.documents.Open("J:\smi-uk.ajgco.com\smidata\VOL1\Financial Risks\Ops\Vicki\SoDaN Template.dotx")
wapp.Visible = True
If Me.OptionButton1 = True Then
wdoc.Selection.typetext.Sheet2 Range("b2")
ElseIf Me.OptionButton2 = True Then
wdoc.Selection.typetext.Sheet2 Range("b3")
End If
End Sub

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Adding date and time

Here are two quick ways to add the date and time to your spreadsheet:

1) Type =NOW(), which displays both date and time in the same cell
or
2) Hold Ctrl and type the colon (:) into one cell for the date and the semi-colon(;)into another for the time.

Note that =NOW() updates to the current date/time whenever the spreadsheet recalculates.
