Pen Mode in Access 2007
in [Tables]
|
From: Citipool on 14 Feb 2010 17:13 I've created database application to be used as EMR (Electronic Medical Records) in Access 2007 (OS- Win XP). The physicians will be using Tablet PC instead of Desktop to enter their visit notes on this EMR. The visit notes will be entered using a stylus pen on their PC tablet. What I'd like to do is create "Save" button to save that note outside access for editing. Can you tell me how I could do that? someone suggested I use OCR but I am not sure which one to use or how to do it? Our preference is to save that note as MS Word document since that would be the format of the final note. Any help is appreciated.
From: Steve on 14 Feb 2010 18:23 Why not save the note in an Access table? Then later you can use automation to open Word and inject the note so you can do whatever with the note in Word format.

From: Citipool on 14 Feb 2010 21:10 Thank you Steve. I saved it to a table per your recommendation. However, I am not able to automate it to output to Word. The only options available are Excel, HTML, Text and SPX. Am I missing something? "Steve" wrote: > Why not save the note in an Access table?

You need to use VBA to open a Word session. Go to Help and search on Automation. You might akso look at Mail Merge depending on what you want to do. Also ask Arno R for help but don't hold your breath!
