Hi All,

Using Access2003 and Word2003 I face the following challenge.
I do use the outstanding mailmerge program of Albert Kallal to create letters.
Within my template I have defined some "ask" boxes to complete the letter
with referencenumbers and so on.
Now I would like to automatically save (and of course later retrieval) of
the documents within my database with a unique description. let say
contactid&myreferencenumber.

Who can help me out?
 
Thanks Alex,

However my knowledge of VB is that I do not understand all the possible
features as explained on that particular page.

Could you point me in the right direction?
 
Hi,
there are several articles which show how to save file as binary in OLE
field. so once you have created word doc - save it to disk and then use code
from the article to save it into table. This is in general. if you have
specific question - pls let me know
