Please help me figure out how to insert Acess database information into a word document...

thank you
 
Depends on the type and format of information you want to insert. If you can display the information in table format either as a table or as the result of a query, just highlight the columns and rows of the table, copy to the clipboard (Ctl + c) and paste (Ctrl + v) into the Word document. OLE (Automation they call it nowdays) will operate to create the data in Word that looks exactly like the highlighted portion of the table.

For instructions and sample code of inserting access fields from a form or report directly into word try this site.

Download code 2 which is an example of using vba to click a button on the form and open ms word using a template and inserting the fields into your word document.
