Linking a MS Word field to MS Access table

[Todd]

I'd like to find out how to link the data entered into a
MS Word form field to automatically be entered into a
respective MS access field? So when you fill out a simple
form in Word, certain inputs woould be automatically
entered into the matching fields in Access. Thanks for
your help.

There's no way to create a "link" for this. It would require
using VBA code to specifically write the data back into
Access. Do you have experience with DAO or ADO?
