Is it possible to use the Database field to retrieve information from an external database based on some data within the word document? There is an Order Number that I would like to query on. I know how to use the Database field, but couldn't find a way to dynamically adjust the query.

This can probably be done with a Macro, but I'm not skilled enough with Macros to write it. If the Database field won't do what I'm looking for, can someone point me to a good Macro example for pulling dynamic information from an external database.

Thanks for your help.
