Sending a Single Record from Access to Word.

[johnhouk]

I need to add a command button to a form which sends the current record to a word doc containing corresponding fields.

(I will be using this to create corospondance with customers and vendors conserning complaints and material certification letters.)

This seems like a very common place function, however I was unable to find it mentioned in any other thread.

Thanks in advance for any help,
John

Is this really that hard to do?

I have not been able to find much on the subject myself. Type automation in the help section (access)
Microsoft Knowledge base has an article that you might find handy

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q209882

this should give you enough information to get you going.

keyword is automation
good luck
