Pen Mode in Access 2007
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. |

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. Steve "Citipool" wrote in message ...

"Citipool" schreef in bericht ... 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? Maybe $teve can help, but mind you... he is after your money... http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/whoissteve.html Regards, Arno R |

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! Steve "Citipool" wrote in message ... Thank you Steve.
