I am try to do the follow and don't know where to begin. Any help would be appreciated.
I have database that keeps track of project information. Each project has an abstract (about 1 page of text). What I would like to accomplish is the following:
1.Have the user go to a form, select a title from a combo box, (ex."Diabetes in Young adults") cllick a button that does the following
2.if no abstract has been entered for this project then open word and either type new abstract usign word or paste from disk, then save the word file to match the title of the project (C:\My Documents\Projects\Diabetes in Young Adults.doc)
if abstract has been entered then be able to view the abstract based on the project title. I would like all the abstracts saved in the same location.
I would like this to be automated so the user just opens the form and either enters a new abstract of edits and existing one. There is only 1 abstact per project.
I have never used OLE objects before. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me
