Hi,

I need to generate a printed document that will contain data from
Microsoft Access. My customer already generates this document manually
using Microsoft Word and he really likes the format, so it seems like the
way to go is to populate his word document with Access data rather than to
attempt to mimic his document using MS Access reports.

I want my user to press a button in the MS Access program and have
it automatically generate an MS Word .doc file or possibly open an MS Word
template file (.dot file) and populate it with data from the database and
save it as a doc file.

Does anyone know any good resources that explain how to do this?


Thanks,
JD

yeah... export an access report as WORD.

If the data you need to place into the word docuemnt is one reocrd, then I
have a nice working soliner her

opps..bumped the send key....


If the data you need to place into the word document is one record, then I
have a nice working solution here

You might like to set up Word Bookmarks and populate them from an Access
form. Here's how:
