generate word document

[odun]

Hello all,

Is there a way that I could put a command button on my form and on clicking it, it would generate a word document (I have a word document saved) but on the word document, it would populate the address field with the information on the form. I have about 5 fields on the form that will be used in the word document.

I thought about creating a report in access instead, but I might want to edit the word document manually, is there a way to do this?

Thanks much.

Have a look at this example and it should show you a way forward. I have forgoten who wrote it in its first instance but it was in Access 97 i think, but feel free to correct me.

Have you looked at this example odun.

I did, but it's not really what I am looking for. On my form, I want to be able to click a button and a previously saved Word document pops up that is populated with some fields in my form.
the example you provided has winword and saving files e.t.c.
Thanks for helping...

Peterssoftware.com, they have a lettermerger that opens word and puts what ever letter you create and merges information, names, amounts, dates, or whatever into a letter.

Perhaps you can use this somehow. It's worth a look.

If you do not want to repeat the Access fields in the word document then you can use Word Bookmarks.
