Hi folks;
Hey wow! First post! Hope it bears fruit... Anyway, I've been teaching myself Access since March by writing an event/contact management database for the firm I work for. It's reasonably straightforward , it just records details on our clients among other thihgs. The old Lotus DB it (supposedly!) supercedes had a handy feature that I've so far had no luck in replicating in Access. It worked as follows:
1. The user browsed to a Client Contact record, which contained all of an individual person's contact data stored as separate fields.
2. The user could then click a handy button on the Contact form that would automatically capture the text from the relevant fields, collate it, and plonk them as an address block into the top of an automatically opened text document.
3. The user could then type a letter to the contact below the address as usual. When the time came to print the letter the address block would be in just the right place to be visible through a windowed envelope.
That's about it really. I've had a long search and found many ways to export from Access to Word, or import from to Word from Access, but none of them are so simple or straightforward . I know this must be possible somehow, but does anybody know how? The best I've been able to do so far is insert a button on the form that runs a query and displays the fields I picked in a table that pops up, but that's it.
I'm not an Access pro and I don't know how to code, so any replies starting with "Simple, just fire up C++ and xyz...." will probably leave me in tears! I'm fine with macros and queries and Microsoft packages in general, so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.
Thanks guys!

Can anybody tell me how I can get a sub form which displays data from a table to export the rows to a Word Document? I tried the lines in the post above this. But I'm getting a few errors related to Object Variable. I'm new to Access and I don't have a clue. Please help.
Could you also please tell me how I can make these values appear in the Word Document wherever I want?? I need help in setting the markers.

Is it possible to export a report to word and have it include the
graphics that are in the report?
I'd like to take some of our reports and export them to word so we can
email those to the client, but when I export, I lose the logo as well
as any graphics (grey line separaters, etc) and only get the text of
the reports.

I have a process that exports an Access table to a comma-delimited
text file. One of the fields that is exported shows the date it was
exported, using the Date() function. In the Access table, the date
appears in the records in mm/dd/yyyy format, but after exporting, the
date appears as mm/dd/yyyy 0:00:00. For example, today is 11/06/2003.
It shows 11/06/03 in the Access table, but the exported text file
shows 11/6/03 0:00:00. I thought...

I don't know if this is possible but what I would really like to do is
to use On Error Goto to capture the code that is being executed when

Any help would be much appreciated.
