Hello to all,
I'm new at this and am trying to find out if it's possible to incorporate a
MS Word doc into a form/report being produced by an Access application.
We have a database with records containing some identifying criteria and
locational items and a field that identifies a specific word document that
we want linked to this person. I'd like to then design a form that would
show the record for a person that displays his attributes from the Access
record along with the body of text from the Word document with all of the
Word document's formatting intact (that's why we're using word and not just
adding a memo field to the Access table).
Is this possible? And if one can do a "form", can one then do a report of
this as well? At the moment, using OLE, we have the problem of not being to
scroll thru the entire text of the word document - all we can see is what
fits into the "box" on the form with no scroll bar available. And from this
experience we do not see how we can design a report that would flow to a 2nd
or 3rd page if the Word doc was that big.
