Document automation

[Aaron]

In a nutshell I am creating a document to send out to our sales people. I
would like to have an intelligent document that has drop downs, text fields
and information that will populate other fields conditionally on their
input. (I know enough about Visual Basic and other programming languages
along with Access to get myself into a little trouble)

Before I get too deep I have a few questions

1. In what senario would I want to use a "Text form field"and a "Text Box"
(in the control toolbar)?

2. Are there any examples you have I could look at

3. Eventually I would like to export the information in the document we get
back to a table in Access. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do
this?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Aaron
