I was wondering if anybody can help me with this problem I've got.

Our company has a Word document which has to be manually completed for new library requests. So what I've done is to create a simple Access database with a form so that my department can add records for new library requests (there's roughly 20 fields on the form which match up with the fields on the Word Document). Because of our companies policies, even though we can now save new library requests to the Access Database the Word Document still has to be completed (a bit of a pain really!). So what I was wondering is whether there's a way of populating the fields in the Word Doc when a new record is added via the form in the Access Database?
 

Well, you could use word mailmerges for example.
Have a look in word & Access help or do an advance search here 'mailmerge', I believe you will get some answers.
