I am creating a dispatch system for an RV transportation company.
When an RV is dispatched to be delivered, they prepare a bill of lading and a driver delivery agreement; the bill of lading is originally a word document, and contains all of the legalese concerning the unit, delivery, damages, etc. The delivery agreement basically says "this is what we will pay for the trip". The delivery agreement is an original excel document. What I am writing is when the user dispatches Unit 12345 to be delivered by driver 999, for example, it will create (from database entries within excel), a properly formatted Bill of Lading. When Unit 12345 is scheduled for delivery and initially accepted by the company for transport, the recipient RV dealership is already defined, and will be defined in the database; as well as the manufacturer. The procedure will retrieve the necessary data from the Unit and Manufacturer records to create the B/L. Is there a way, from within Excel, to programmatically have Excel place these database values onto the B/L form to print the B/L form. The original B/L was a word document, and I already have it inserted as an object into the Excel SS. I might redesign the B/L into an Excel SS and make it easier, but is there a way to have Excel programmatically place the necessary values from the databases directly into the Word object within the Excel SS? |
