Opening Word in Access then saving Doc in Access

[Guest]

How do I open a Word Document from an Access form then have a command that
saves the Altered Word Document in an Access table and then finally continune
onto anotheer Access form??

You can use the Shell() command to open an instance of Word.
I don't recommend that you save entire Word.docs in Access tables. Just
save the path and filename instead.

Either way, this will require some VBA or Macro code to perform.

You open the WORD document as an object, and you use automation to access
the content of the document. You then save this content into an appropriate
field in the database. There's a longer discussion here:

The examples aren't exactly what you want, but you should be able to modify
them.
