Instructions on how to Create a Word document that Links To Access DB

[di]

I have a Access Database, and I would like to create a word document
that
(preferable would filter)links to ACCESS table or query. I would like
to print the word document on the filtered record that I have selected
in Access.
for example if I have customer number (201) that I would like to merge
over to a Word document. The word document is a template that I would
like to use regularly.

Thanks so Much for anyone that can WALK me thru the process. Step by
step,

I have tried the Hyperlink option - but it doesn't see to be working
right.

Isn't there an easy way to create such a thing. In the past I
created all my templates in the FORM view and have printed from the
Forms. But
Some letters are easier generated in MS Word.

Thanks again!

Try the following sample download word merge of mine:

http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn.../msaccess.html

Give that working sample a try..and then to use it in your application..just
read the additional instructions on my web site...

My example is designed to be used with YOUR application...
Good Luck.

ok, i've been doing this very frequently in my job ...
perhaps u might find this useful

Step 1 : create your query with all the information that u'll need on that
merged letter
Step 2 : run the query and ensure the result is as u wanted.
Step 3 : while still looking at your query, select 'Tools' --> 'Office
Links' --> 'Merge it with MS Words'
Step 4 : MS Word will be activiated and prompts you to select a document to
merge to. Ignore this and opts for a new word document
Step 5 : you'll then be presented with a black document, ready for you to
edit.
Step 6 : edit your document, at the Toolbars portion of ms word (at the
top), right click and select the 'Mail Merge' toolbars.
Step 7 : you may try to play around with the mail merge toolbar, selecting
whatever u need to.

Hope the above helps.

a need for both versions in the future.
