Linking data from a form to ms word

[Guest]

I have a form which has lots of different formulas that I use as an insurance
calculator to give customer quotes. I want to merge the data to a template
that I have set up on ms word - is this possible.
Thankyou

Have a look at the code on my website, that does just this:

The merge is acomplished using Word bookmarks.

If the form is generated by a Select query then use that query in step 2 of
the mail merge as the data source

Thankyou. I have over 500 records in the query and only want to merge the
one that I am working on. I could have maybe only 2 quotes to send in any one
month and don't want to go through the process of merging all the records -
just wondered if there was an easier way ?

You can do this but will have to set some form of criteria in the query or in
Word to identify the records you need. If you don;t want to change the query
that feeds the form, make a copy of it and use that as the mail merge source
modifying the criteria as required.

Hope this helps
