I created a form in Access 2000 the function of which is to create an Access report.

One thing that I want it to is to write the report into a Word document and this I do with the Access Outputto method. There are no problems up this point.

However, what I also want to do is to insert the comapny's logo in the header of the newly created Word document at the same time ie programmatically, rather by manually copying and pasting the image in.

I need to use the Word object model but, despite looking for quite sometime I cannot find an appropriate method. Unfortunately I have very little to do normally with Word VBA and so I need to ask for some help

Am I asking for the impossible?


Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Create a template (.dot) and use it when outputting.

Totally agree with mmcdonal here, theres no point trying to use a hammer to break an egg.

I find its best to use templates with this sort of stuff as it makes maintenence a lot easier also.
(i.e. if you have a library of all reports/mail outs etc, and your logo changes, you only need to update the template, not the code/image etc.).

Just thought I would add that as maintenence tends to be an often-forgotten issue.

I am clearly doing something wrong here

I have tried using a template previously and tried it again following these suggestions.

However it does not seem to work.

I have created the template and noted the full file path.

When I use the Outputto method, I refer to the full file path of the template.

But when the document outputs, neither the image nor any text that I have put in appear.

Perhaps you can advise.

I have found solution using Word vba but I agree on the point about code maintenance.

Many thanks
:)
