Passing parameter into MS Word!

[micjohnson]

On my ColdFusion application, i have a query which will get me the First name, Last Name, DOB and Address. I have a letter in Ms Word format located as in the folder as same as CFM files(with dahses for Firstname, Lastname, DOB and address like the below)

Letter
------

First Name:___________________

Last Name :___________________

Date of Birth: _______________

Address1:_______________________________________

Address2:_______________________________________

City: _____________________________

Zip: ___________


When i click a button in application, i should open this and i need to pass the above values (from query) into the appropriate columns of the word document.

Is there a way?

Thanks
micj.

not sure how you would open a word document and write in specific areas on the page...

You could just save the output to a word.doc file. Bring over table formatting etc. this is a basic example... If you made a .cfm file with this code it would automaticly save the info as a word document and present a download dialog box. Not sure if you need to save these forms on the server....

<cfcontent type="application/msword">
<cfquery datasource="#DSOURCE#" name="count1">
select * from table1
</cfquery>
<table>
<cfoutput query="count1">
<TR>
<TD>#header#</TD><TD>#location#</TD>
</TR>
</cfoutput>
</table>
