Rocky,

  I have a Access / Word interface that I worked on many years ago, which
was based on the effort of Paul Litwin.

  John used that as the basis for something he did and may want to share
that as well.

   I'll e-mail it off list.

  It's template driven from the Access side.  You choose a query as a data
source, the fields and attributes you want to push into Word, and then save
it.  You can then execute it at any time.

  On the Word side, all the user needs to do is create named bookmarks in
the text where the data should go.

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] Doc Merge from Access

Dear List:

I have a client who wants to merge fields from a chosen record in an Access
table into a Word doc. I don't want to reinvent this wheel and I'm sure
there must be modules or samples somewhere that I could crib.  Does someone
have a favorite?

I remember trying to do this years ago and the biggest problem was getting
the user to set up the fields in the Word doc and linking it to the data
source.  I'd prefer not to go this way because the user is not that
technically able.  Rather drive the whole thing from Access but I'm not sure
that's possible.  You have to define the fields in the doc, no?

There is a set of standard docs that the user will be starting with but they
want to be able to add docs as they go along.
