Open Word document to display in report

[skyline666]

Happy New Year!!

I want to be able to display a word document in a report. I am using Access 2003, with a SQL Server 2005 backend. The word document consits of text and pictures. Originally, I was going to just copy the whole info out of the word document and paste into a report, and that would be the end of it, but the info in the word document might change, and it would be easier if the report took whatever is in the word document instead of a user copying and pasting it.

I think this would be done using a query (or rather stored procedure through SQL Server), can anyone help me on how to do this please?

Many Thanks

Andrew

Perhaps you could use mailmerge or bookmarks in Word rather than an Access report? This would allow you to either {INCLUDE } the Word file or insert it.

Hi,

I have put a command button on a form where the Word document is relevant to open up this Word document, and from there the user can print the Word document, which for what I needed gives the same result, if not a slightly faster result (in printing the report/word document).

Thanks anyway Remou,

Andrew
