Opening and Running Word 2000 (via Access 2000 VBA)

[L.A. Lawyer]

I want to use Access 2000 to open Word, then to open (as copy) a specific
Word 2000 document (TheWordDocument.doc), find a bookmark in that document
and then work in Word.

I am able to open Word but then I can't get it to retrieve the named
document or do anything else.

How is this done?

You will go cross-eyed and blind trying to use the bookmark method of merging
Access data into Word Docs. Before you end up in a rubber resort with an ivy
league jacket with the buckles in the back, Here's a link to Albert Kallal's
website. Search for "Super Easy Word Merge." It might not be what you are
looking for, but I bet it is.

Thank you for this information BUT I still want to be able to open and work
on a Word 2000 document from Access 2000. I still don't know how to do
that.

Sorry if I misunderstood your request. If you want to open a document that
is not meant to be merged with the data, you could store the path to it in a
hyperlink field in your table. That way, anytime you click on the field,
word will open and so will your document.

Hope I got it right this time.
