From Access - Automating Word - Mail Merge - plus Inserting text.

[Guest]

Hi,
Access 2000
A form in access has tickboxes for selection of components.
The components are on separate word documents.

A Word document is opened and a mail merge occurs taking feild information
from the form and placing it into DOCPROPERTY feilds in the document.

By a process of things not working from copy and paste the only way I'm
going to get the other text from the other documents, based on the forms
tickboxes is to use an insert text operation inthe mail merged Doc.
I have examples of doing this from word but not from automation from access
and I can't get there.

What would the coding be to take the text from the other documents and
insert it into the open document in a InsertText feild from access via
automation?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bill

I've done something similar using code from Helen Feddema -

Thanks Sandy,
Thats got the mail merge part ok.
Next part of extracting text from other documents and inserting it into the
active document will be the tough one I expect.
