Help please

Hi

I have a database for aplications for a charity pass... I want to update the database and have it so that you can enter the data in the form, and then press an accept or decline button (dependin on whether the charity pass is issued). When this button is pressed I want it to automatically link to a word document (one for accept and one for decline)... Kind of like an automatic mail merge...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Why would you go to all this trouble?

Set up Access reports to print what your Word documents contain. Then print the report from the form.

While my experience with Word in the situation you describe is somewhat limited, I understand you would have to open Word in order to print the actual document. This would mean you would probably lose your form's focus (the record you want to print).

Statsman, Is there a way to import/convert the Word document to a report to use as the template you describe?

I recently had to recreate a Word doc as a report and it took me ages doing it from scratch in design view.

If there is, I'm afraid I don't know what it is. As stated earlier, Word is not my forte. However, we have a number of people who post on the forum who would know this type of thing. Give it a day or 2 to see if they can offer any advice.
