Code to export to rtf and compare

[Mike]

Hello all,

I'm looking to write a program that will take values from
an access database, insert them into an existing rtf file
and then compare that rtf file to a previously saved rtf
files, reporting differences. Essentially, I want to
find "1" in an rtf and have the value in the table with
the key "1" to replace it. It's an ambitious task, so
I'm wondering if Access is even capable of this type of
function before I begin. Also, if it is if someone could
point me in the direction of some resources that might be
useful it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

It's an ambitious task, and I wouldn't go about it that
way!

Have you considered using XML files instead of RTF? So
that you can use XML processing tools?

Or, have you considered using Word as well as Access?
You can search and replace tokens in an RTF file using
Word, or you can label insertion points and push
data directly to the insertion point.
