Question on Shell Command

[John Lane]

Does the Shell command work in Word Visual Basic? Thanks.

Yes. What do you want to do with it?

 

[John Lane]

No problem. Going to launch Access, and just wanted to make sure Word's VB
supported the Shell command before I slogged thru looking for it or created a
test case.

Using Shell may not be the most appropriate method.

See the article "Access a database and insert into a Word document the data
that you find there" at:

If it fits the requirement, there's also the possibility of using a
DATABASE field or Word VBA InsertDatabase to insert data.
