Macros 301 – Generate Document Numbers From MS Access Database And Auto Insert Them Into New Documents

Father forgive me.  It has been two weeks since my last blog post.  I apologize everyone for the long interval but things have been crazy.  In addition to some long nights at my day job, I am in the process of releasing a new version of InspectionXpert, the Quality Inspection Sheet generating software from my company Extensible CAD.  It is a rewarding endeavor but also very demanding.

 Anyways… not so long ago I posted a Macro & tutorial on how to register for SolidWorks events.  One application of that technique that I mentioned was to automatically generate document numbers for your SolidWorks document and insert them into SolidWorks “auto-magically.”  Well, not too long thereafter I was bombarded with emails asking me to post that little Macro and I promised to do so.  This post is the fullfillment of that promise.  I’m sorry it took so long but I think you guys will like it.  I feel it is “auto-magically delicious” myself : )

 You can download the database and the macro from here.
