Hello:

I'd just like to insert a 20 page Microsoft word text file into access. I've tried using reports and inserting the file in an unbound object frame but it does not seem to work and the file is not visible as a report.

Any suggestions are appreciated
 
off the cuff
any formatting in the doc or is it standard text
if formatted slightly harder
now make first part of report you will have to do this in parts as the report will only allow 4-5 pages long so you need to insert subreports on to it

reportpart1 enter as much as you need and as much as access will allow remember to leave enough room at the end for sub reports
reportpart2 fill in as much as needed make report1 then insert sub-report reportpart2
continue - I have assume that there is no merging of data in this

if there is merge options through out the doc - a mailmerge might be a better option - but if you still require/want access to do it go down the route above but format as you go -you will hit all sorts of textfield problmes as I think form memory they have a 255 char limit so if you want a par to state
hereby =+[&fieldname]& is blah this part will fall over if greater than 255 (from memory) you also will have problems if you want any bolding mid paragrh - there is a bolt on software that I think allows this - but I have never used it (would be nice to hear from anyone who has)

what you want is do-able in a fashion - you must decide is this the best route to take
