I have a dummy form, with a lot of unbound text boxes to fill in data for a one time use only. I want to export that form as is to Word so that I can send it email. Is that possible. I tried the quick EXPORT TO MS WORD, but it did not work like I hoped.

I have another form that I bring with the dummy form above that contains names and numbers that is queried everyday to fill in this form. Where a person works every day is subjective, so there is no real way to link the two together and have Access fill in the data automatically./

If it would be easier to export to something else, let me know. Currently I am printing the form and faxing it.
 
In my access handbook (Access 2000 VBA )there is some code to send info from the text boxes on your form to OutLook.
I created a form called frmemail and 3 text boxes, txtemail to hold the email address and 2 to hold test info so I could test it.
Create command button
On Click Event
Dim objoutlook As New Outlook.Application
Dim objMessage As MailItem
Dim strinfo As String
strinfo = Forms!frmemail!txtfirst & _
vbCrLf & _ ' Start new line
Forms!frmemail!txtnext
Set objMessage = objoutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMessage
.To = Forms!frmemail!txtemail
.Body = strinfo
.Send
End With
Set objoutlook = Nothing
Aet objMessage = Nothing
End Sub

This created an email in the outbox in OutLook
