Combining Word Form with Access

[Guest]

I want to place a drop down list on a form and then populate other text boxes
on the form from an Access table based on the selection made from the drop
down, similar to the way a look-up query does in a form in Access. Is this
possible or is there another way of going about this?

It's possible, yes. It requires a fully automated (macro) solution that will
access the database using DAO or ADO.

To pursue this, ask in a group that supports macros (such as word.vba.general).

Thanks Cindy, I know I'm out of my depth now. Thought that it would be
(should be) much easier than this. Cheers.
