I would like to enter data, choose some checkboxes (types of Documents)
and have Access automatically create documents fro the data insterted
into text and store the Word Documents in a table.
Can this be done? Can I do it...an Access Novice? Am I being too
aggressive?
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, it can be done. MS Word can be controlled by VBA just like Access
is. If you aren't using VBA yet, you will have some stuff to learn.
In a nutshell, you open a Word instance, open a template and then send
over the data. Then you can use VBA to make Word print, save, etc.
How you do it largely depends on what kind of document you want to
create. You can use a Mail Merge, Export Access Reports to Word, use
Bookmarks on a Word template to insert data, or use Global Variables to
insert data.
I do not know nor have I played with VBA...is it tremendously
difficult?
Cheers,
Tim
No, it's pretty easy IMO, and there's lots of code in the archives of
this newsgroup to get examples.
However, like any new thing, it takes time and effort to learn.

I am looking to export certain variables from ms access to ms word, Does
anyone have any idea how this is done. So far my function collects data from

unable to figure out how to make it write the collected data to the new word
document. Any help would be great.

I'm writting an application based on an SQL Server for Order Management.
I have some data I want to export to Excel and Word, maybe some day I

The problem is I don't have Office installed on my Computer. Is there
something I can use for this task on the MSDN-DVDs? Where can I find a
couple tutorials on dealing with things like that on the web???

Following up, I've found success at last with Aspose, combining both

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
