basic advice needed...

[snowman]

hey guys

please bear with me - i have some basic q's about modules and procedures that im sure would be best explained by someone on the forum

heres my situation: i need to include some VBA code to export info from an Access form to a Word doc. Im reading up and learning about how to do this (Access/Word automation) . my q's are about procedures and modules.

reading through posts it seems that i need to perhaps create a procedure/module in which to reference to the Word lib? how can this be done? im seeing examples of codes that call for 'DAO', or 'ActiveDocument' and im really condused about this..

i need a helping hand with these procedures and modules - what do i need to do/include before writing the code to export the info? my db consists of tables, forms, subforms and queries - nothing too complicated. do macros come into play?

thanks

I spent my first year in Access roaming the MVP sites. There is tons of great stuff out there as you well know. I've bookmarked lots of stuff. Have you followed the links on MVP Jeff Conrad's site (The Access Junkie)? That can take a while.
