I would like to create a form to input information into an Access database.
I would like to have the Access form resemble the Word fillable form as much
as possible. Please let me know if there is a way to use the design of the
Word form as an Access input form or if I have to design the Access input
form from scratch. We are running Access 2002 on an xp machine.

Thanks and have a great weekend!!

You can use a bitmap image of a Word form as a guide to placement of the
controls on a Access form, but the only way that you can use a Word form
with Access is to fill the Word form with Access data using a merge. It
doesn't work in reverse though, so you still need to do the data entry in
Access.
