Import data from Word to Access Tables

J

JS

I have used the following procedure to import data from Word 2002 to an
Access 2002 table.

Sub GetWordData()
Dim appWord As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strDocName As String
Dim blnQuitWord As Boolean

On Error GoTo ErrorHandling

strDocName = "C:\Contracts\" & _
InputBox("Enter the name of the Word contract " & _
"you want to import:", "Import Contract")

Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
Set doc = appWord.Documents.Open(strDocName)

cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\My Documents\" & _
"Healthcare Contracts.mdb;"
rst.Open "tblContracts", cnn, _
adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic

With rst
.AddNew
!FirstName = doc.FormFields("fldFirstName").Result
!LastName = doc.FormFields("fldLastName").Result
!Company = doc.FormFields("fldCompany").Result
!Address = doc.FormFields("fldAddress").Result
!City = doc.FormFields("fldCity").Result
!State = doc.FormFields("fldState").Result
!ZIP = doc.FormFields("fldZIP1").Result & _
"-" & doc.FormFields("fldZIP2").Result
!Phone = doc.FormFields("fldPhone").Result
!SocialSecurity = doc.FormFields("fldSocialSecurity").Result
!Gender = doc.FormFields("fldGender").Result
!BirthDate = doc.FormFields("fldBirthDate").Result
!AdditionalCoverage = _
doc.FormFields("fldAdditional").Result
.Update
.Close
End With
doc.Close
If blnQuitWord Then appWord.Quit
cnn.Close
MsgBox "Contract Imported!"

Cleanup:
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing
Set doc = Nothing
Set appWord = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrorHandling:
Select Case Err
Case -2147022986, 429
Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
blnQuitWord = True
Resume Next
Case 5121, 5174
MsgBox "You must select a valid Word document. " _
& "No data imported.", vbOKOnly, _
"Document Not Found"
Case 5941
MsgBox "The document you selected does not " _
& "contain the required form fields. " _
& "No data imported.", vbOKOnly, _
"Fields Not Found"
Case Else
MsgBox Err & ": " & Err.Description
End Select
GoTo Cleanup
End Sub

The code works fine except I am trying to automate. I would like to run
this procedure with a click of a button and have had no luck on trying to
figure out.

Could someone please help!

I'm not sure where you are trying to run the code from, but assuming a form,
you just have to put the runcode command for the click event of the button.
