Hi,

Is there a way (using VBA or otherwise) whereby I can generate a
report and export each record details in a seperate word file which
could be named by the record Identifier?

e.g.
I have a Sales Order Report. I need the report exported to seperate
Word file for each sales order (I have checked that this works for
exporting to HTML... if not possible in word I could use HTML but if
the second requirement can be met) and each word filed to be named
using the Sales Order number.

Regards,
Nabeel
 
Have you looked at the OutputTo method?

I don't think this method has a filter which would allow you to export a
report for a select Sales Order, so you might have to modify that report so
that it gets its SalesOrderNumber from a control on a form. Then, in the
command button that generates the report, you could open a recordset of
SalesOrderNumbers, populate the control on your form, create a filename based
on the SalesOrderNumber, then output the report. Then, move to the next
record in the recordset and do these steps over again.
