Access Database Programing Questions

I am looking for a group that would help me with a few questions I have
on setting up an access database.

I have been pushed into using access so there are some things about it
that I am still learning.

specifically I am looking for a way to click on a button that will fill
in a microsoft word document and fill in the information I have in that
particular database record

I have found the section on opening up word with a click of a button
but now I want to fill in the document with the information that I have
entered.

You might want to consider just using Microsoft Word to create a mail
merge against either a table or query in your database. That would be
far easier than trying to replicate the process using button events.

But the more you explain about the particular problem you're trying to
solve, the better help you'll get.
