Saving Form as a Word Document

[rhomer]

I have a straight form, not based on a table, that I use as a template. I need to save it after data is entered. I have tried "save as" as form or report and when I open the saved form, all the data is gone. The form is blank. I've also noticed that I can't open a new record. Is this because I have no table? How do I save my data and maintain my template?

A form IS a template. Data can ONLY be saved in tables. Create a table. Then bind your form to the table by selecting the table name in the form's recordsource (on the property's data tab). Then bind each column by selecting the table field in the control's controlsource. Of course it might just be easier to rebuild the form with the form wizard. Just select the table and the wizard will add all the bound controls for you.
