We are using word 2000 at my work. We have created a template and the users
want to type in a key field (employee number) and have it pull back all the
employee data from our oracle database into the appropriate fields in word

Does word provide for this type of function?

I have read a few items and it seems that oracle may be a problem. If that
is true, I can export the data to either access or excel, but not sure which
way to go or if that will work either?

Any suggestions on how to proceed or a web site on examples would be
appreciated. I have done a "little" bit of VBA but not trying to link word
to an external database, retreive the data and fill it in on a form.

thanks in advance.
