Create a MS Word document using the fields from the selected record. 1

[JimRich]

I need to select a record in my VB database program and click a command button that will open a preformated Word document using previously selected fields. The Word document must be totally editable. The user needs to modify the letter to suit the situation.

Selecting the record and setting up the command button is not the problem. I have tried RTF but it does not seem to allow me to do what I want.

Any help will be appreciated. By the way, I am new to VB, doing most of my programming in FoxPro and Access.

You can create an instance of the word program within vb.
dim myword Word
myword = createobject("Word&quot

you then have access to Word's methods.

You have to reference word for your project first.
It's been awhile since I've done this.
