The only reason I discovered the delights of access was because of a rapid discovery that Office was not an integrated package, far from it. Read the book How to fool the puplic and get away with it, author B.G. publisher M.S. Corporation.

heck rich,
i'm not really an MS basher, i earn a few (too few) bucks using their products. i just have a 'thing' about exporting reports to word.
some years ago, i quoted a project that required some reports be exported to word. i naively believed that this was easy. i had to make different report versions for local printing and export. my client (who also believed the hype) thought, at first, that my skills set was somehow sub-standard (no comments on this please).
anyway, it was, i suppose, a good learning experience. when dealing with MS products: test first!, then quote.

alex,
perhaps you miss the point
i was talking about really simple graphic objects... like a line or a box. and one should not have to create a word template and push data into it to accomplish this!
if the choice is 'export to word' Ms access should be able to do it, with the formatting!

Pcs, I share your point of view 100%: Ms access should be able to do it.
However, since it does not, I was suggesting to Surjer that solution to his problem. I think it would be a way to get what he wants, still better than nothing?
Don t hesitate to comment.
