Acc 2007 to Word 2007 Find data in word doc from Access

[DougP]

I have an Access database with names. I also have a Word Document which has the names in it as well. this is a Calendar of events with the last names scattered through out it.
I want to select a name in the subform click a button which opens the word doc then find the last name in the word doc.

Now what I do is open the Word doc, Press Ctrl-F, paste in the name and hit enter.
How can I automate this?

TIA

Press Ctrl-F, paste in the name and hit enter
Use the word macro recorder before doing that to discover the related wordVBA code.

Hope This Helps, PH.
