Read In A Load Of Addresses From A Database And Then Use Word To Create Address Labels On An Avery Template
Mar 11, 2010
In my VB.Net app, I want to read in a load of addresses from a database and then use word to create address labels on an Avery template L7163 which is then printed to the printer.
However, I have two issues:
1. Before word prints, I'm asked to select the printer etc. not exactly the nice automated application I was looking for.
2. Even though I get a nice printed out doc I was looking for, I also get a nasty looking error at the end which "loops" until I close my app -2147417848: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800010108(RPC_E_DISCONNECTED))
Here is my code:
CODE:
I adapted the code for the actual mail merge by recording a Macro in Word As I manually ran one so I thought it would be ok.

I designed a simple Table using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition in the GridView design. I am able to run the application and enter names and addresses then print them out in record view. I do not need to connect or save to a database, or set up any type of datasets and recordsets. Its is a simple DataTable design from the datagridview where I can run the application, then enter information and print it out, that's all. Now, I need to go a step further by adding another print button for printing labels, Avery 5160.
My question is not so much how to do it, but after running the application and entering the names and addresses, is it possible and how much coding will it require using the same GridView Table and the information I entered to result in a print output in Avery label format? If so, can someone please direct me in the right steps to get started, at the least?Currently the table is set up where I enter names and addresses in separate cells under each column and row, as shown in the example below. I arranged this so I can print out a record of entries where I am able to print preview and print a list of names and addresses in record view. Here I've accomplished my task and get the results I need when I run the application and print.
[Example]
[HEADER] LastName FirstName Address City St. Zip
[ROW] Marti Frank 12345 Somewhere Pl. #####
[ROW] Another Name 12345 Somewhere Pl. #####
[ROW] ##### ##### ##### ##### ## #####
Additionally, I want to be able to print a format of address labels, specifically Avery 5160, from the same entries I entered into the table, when I run the application. I do not want to enter names and addresses again but rather set up and click another print button. Kinda, similar to setting up a mail merge in word. So then, using the same application will I need to customize the cells to print out in an address label format, such as a similar format below, for multiple entries? Please check out this application at [URL] which is an excellent online label source but the format is set up different in that you enter the complete names and addresses into each cell. For my purposes, it is useful but requires more data entry and additional steps. Can I do something similar to this with the table I'm using in it's current design by setting up another print button and customizing the cells to get the proper format to print labels?
LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName
Address, City, St., Zip Address, City, St., Zip Address, City, St., Zip
LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName LastName, FirstName
[code]....
Do I need to run another application with VB? Is there a lot of coding required? Do I need to customize the cells? If I need to run a Word application to set up a mail merger then can use a PDF format instead?

I have a simple email.aspx page that has From:, To:, Subject:, and Body: text boxes. The send button is set to send the email using smtp through System.Net.Mail in ASP.NET 4.
What I'm really trying to do is set the To: address to automatically retrieve all of the email addresses stored in my SQL database table that my customers entered when they registered for updates from my websites, rather than me type each one in by hand. I am wanting it completely automated without any user interaction.
I have looked everywhere for weeks to try to get help and I can't seem to find anything describing what I am trying to do.

As part of my application I am hoping to be able to get the user to enter their IP address and subnet mask which will then enumerate all of the hosts in between which can then be scanned for various open ports/applications installed.
For instance, With a network of 10.91.100.0/255.255.255.252 hosts are valid 10.91.100.1 - .2
How can this be done in vb.net? I would assume also some error checking would need to be put in place to confirm as to whether the subnet mask was valid as well?

What I would like to do is create a command button that launches an email from outlook attaching the current word document to a set email address. I'm not fussed if the word document is saved or not as it is only the email receipent that needs it, likewise I don't mind if the code instructs the email to send of just opens it ready to be sent.I have read through loads of forums and tried loads of codes but cannot get any to work.

With VB, but I've got the few basics down, file naming, adding objects, naming objetcs, etc. But the reason I'm on here is because I cannot complete even the first step. Our form is 640 X 480, and we need to have two labels, both have vertical scrolls. I know how to add and resize the labels to meet my needs, but I do not know how to create scrolling labels. Or are they text boxes? On our bubble chart (Do you know what that means?) it says lblInformation. We are going to have clickable radio buttons which will update the lblInformation with info about each of the radio buttons.

I am trying to open a word template inside a form in my vb.net application but I cannot seem to find any guidance to doing this. I do not want to call microsoft word to open in order to see/read/write on my template. I want the word document to be within a form I am creating like a print preview sort off. I am using Word 2007 and VS 2008. I have been using so far automation and calling and interacting with the template but until so far I have to open Microsoft word to open it for me.

I am attempting to write some data from my program to a word document using a template. What I would like to know is how can I duplicate a page in the word document depending on data in the program. To be more specific the user enters product data into the program. Most times it will be only one product however sometimes it will be 2 or 3 products. When it is more than one product I will need to duplicate a page in the word document to enter the second or third product information.

I've been scouring Google looking for a solution to my problem, but I can't seem to find anything so thought you guys might know a way of solving my problem.Im writing a little program which needs to change a few different memory address variables of a specific process.Does anyone know how first of all I can detect if the specific process is running on the user's machine, and then how I would read the value of the memory addresses, and write to them also.

I have a program in which I am trying to do the mail merge with the word template that I already have.
I have already setup the datasource for the word template in the word itself and it is pointing to my Employee Table which has all the information for the employee. I have also inserted the merge fields in the document where ever I need them. Now I want to print the document (Letter) with all the merge fields filled in from my application but for only employee whose Name or Number I sent from my program not all the employees I have in the datasource.
Now if I have to do it in Word, we have an option called Find Recipient in Mailings -> Preview Results in which I can set the Name or Number of the employee to get all his information to do the merge but how can I do the same thing from my program.
I can send all the fields values from my code like in the code below but I want to use my datasource to provide values. I have employee's Number I want to provide to the template to find the employee - so all the values are filled based on the employee's Number.

So, how do I defien a range and then use them one by one in VB? (I guss that this is effectively IP header spooging?)

I'm trying to read a word document for the purpose of obtaining a word count, I realise Word has built in functionality for presenting a word count but I want to write a little app that will omit certain parts of the document from the word count.
So far I have tried this code to open the document but I am getting an error 'Word.Document cannot be found' and 'Microsoft.Office.Interop cannot be found'. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library under the COM tab. I have Office 2007 installed and I'm using VB2005.

Dim appWord As New Microsoft.Office.Core.Application

Forgive me if this has already been covered in a previous post. I am considering using VB.net for a project but need to know before I dive in if it can perform this particular functionality. The application I wish to develop would need to be able to create html and email templates using variable tokens - what I mean is that users would need to be able to insert into their html or email template previously assigned variables that would send dynamically generated text from the database - so, for example, they could write in their template {title}, or {firstname} {lastname} which would then be replaced by the data from the db.

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

I am designing a form that will create a template of data that will later be loaded into another form.From a menu command "Create New Template" I will need to ask how many Fields will be needed for the new template in an input box. If the user would input say 10, then I need to generate 10 labels, 10 text boxes, & 10 combo boxes. Each group (label, Text Box & Combo Box) on its own row on the form.I also want create the data mapping for each of them at this time.Once I have achieved this then I will add a form that will lookup the template name, and row count given from the above form via the database and load the required rows of items for further data entry.
Since I will have a MAX row limit I thought about designing a form using a Table Layout panel with 25 Rows and 5 columns then doing some sort of .visible true/false for the layout panel row after the user input of row/field quantities.Another question is resizing the form around only the visible rows.
