Using Field information in word

[assets]

I first put this up on the office forum, but this may be a better area. I have a form in word 2003 and want to add a field that will pick a list of employees from an access 2003 database. The database has fields for last name and first name of employees. I also added a search combo box that display last name and first name to show the record when you select it in the database. So I like to use this data to populate the field data in word form. There could be upto 100 names on the list and want to select one. So having the ability to search would also be good to find the one required.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Anything worth doing is a lot more difficult than it's worth

I'm not really clear on what you are asking in your question....do you already have the drop down on the word document and now you want to fill in other fields based on what the user selects OR you need assistance in getting the drop down list populated in the word document?

The rest of the form has drop list stored in word fields. What I like to do is have an access type combobox on the word form that is populated a list of names with the last and first names stored in the database. This is different to mail merge to fill a form.
