I have a word doc and an access database, can I print to word doc

[Jonah]

I am a newbie here so please be gentle.
I have a word doc raised as a form.
I have an access database.
I would like to view a record and when I select print be able to print
directly to the word doc in the correct boxes, is this possible?
If not, what could I do instead?

I think you'd find Albert Kallal's Super Easy Word Merge on this page
http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/msaccess/msaccess.html
just what you need.

You'll find a file at:


http://community.netscape.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?msg=23781.1&nav=messages&webtag=ws-msdevapps


which demonstrates various Access to Word automation operations, including
inserting data from Access into Word form fields. It’s a while since I wrote
it; I think its in Access 2000 but it should work with later versions. I'll
warn you in advance that it does use VBA code which is not trivial, so its
probably not as gentle as you might like.

It also requires you to create a reference to MS Word in your Access file
(Tools | References on the VBA menu bar). The demo file should already have
the reference in place.
