Ques. on sending text to a Word doc.

[batteam]

I have Access 2000. Using an Access project, I want to simply send some text fields from a form in Access to a MS Word document. I can open the Word document OK but the code then ignores any code that is supposed to send data to the open document. A snippet of my code is:

Open Word application code here, then
With AppWord
.Documents.Add "Y:\xxxxx\xxxx\Test.doc"

.Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="firstName"
.Selection = varWordText
.Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Text71"
.Selection.TypeText Text:="Beginning of the Action"
.Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="ActionText"
'Selection.TypeText Text:="Action Text Field!"
End With
etc. etc.

I'm thinking I should check to ensure I have the correct references set as, when comparing my code to examples in MS Help, Tek Tips FAQ pages and the internet, all seems OK. Any assistance would be appreciated.
