[AccessD] Word documents and MS Access

Nothing better to do on a long weekend, except read AccessD. Sigh

Nope

Yep. For the last 8 year or so.

Each year I send out a Word form (a true Word Form with Form Fields)
to my internal clients to get their training requests for the upcoming
year. One form per request. They e-mail it back to me and I import all
the data from the Form into an Access DB. This import serves as the
basis for my annual training plan.

Our National Learning & Development group uses the same form and
Access DB for the same purpose.

If you read the Article, Using Word as Remote Data Collection for
Access, I wrote for M2M, it should give you the basics.
