link access to a word doc

[Guest]

I am using Office 2003. I need to be able to open AND MODIFY a specific
existing word document for each client when using access.
eg In access, I select a client from a query, then I need to "click a
button" which will open the Word document specific to that client. I will
then add text to that doc, save and close, and be returned to the original
access screen.
Can this be done?

Yes, I have a working sample that does exactly as you ask.

Thank you, Albert,

I tried numerous code samples to get Word to open a specific document and
populate it with data from an Access form. What worked on one PC, didn't on
another. Your solution works beautifully.
