editable report

[Guest]

I need to create a "report" which can be manually edited, like a word
document, after it is created by access. This would allow me to slightly
change statments or data for each individual report.

I would like the ability to freeze the document/report once i have made my
final changes.

How is this possible using Access?

The only way I know you can do this is to export each 1 to Word, modify and
save it there. You might do better to consider whether the statements for the
report can be stored in the database so that you input data and can print
reports as and when needed.

is it possible to export to word in the format of .doc? i can only export as
rtf - so when i edit them the spacing is messed up. the end of each line
appears as 'return' key, causing many line breaks after i edit the document.

thanks

Access doesn't export to .DOC so your are stuck with RTF and its lack of
formatting.

You might be able to do a mail merge with a Word document to populate it
with data from Access.
