Fill in form

[wlm]

Is there a way to create a form that contains fields that a user can
fill in as well as fields that auto-populate with data from a database
or source file? Or is there another program that could accomplish this
(more easily)?

If you need to create multiple forms with each one containing the data from
a record in the database, see the article "Combining FormFields and Mail
Merge" on the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website:

Alternatively, if it is just one document at a time that you are producing,
see the following pages of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website :
