Perhaps you can just put the Word commands in your what you have to open the Word.doc from your DB.

I have about 60 letters that are opened from OnClick on form labels and the data from Access fields is inserted into Word Bookmarks

One part looks like this:

docName.EditGoTo "RSA"
docName.SelectCurIndent
docName.EditCopy

In this case RSA is a Bookmark and SelectCurIndent selects the text from the Bookmark to the end of the letter and of course EditCopy copies it. SelectCurIndent is a Word deal.

So perhaps you can do a similar thing with your Word macros if there is some code for Word than runs the macros.
