RE: Generating MS Word report from Access DB

["Karen Murri" <kmurri -at- comcast -dot- net>]

You should be able to do a mail merge from an access database. Don't do it
with the wizard, open the mail merge toolbar. From that you can select the
database and then construct the report. Maybe. (I used mail merge recently,
but not for anything that complex.)

Subject: Generating MS Word report from Access DB

A colleague maintains an Access database, and produces a report from it
every week by copying the data from Access rows or cells into MS Word tables
and paragraphs.

She has asked me if there's a way to do this by automatically gathering the
Access cells into the MS Word doc. I'm sure there is. Does anyone have
suggestions, pointers, or perhaps some working prototype code for such a
task?
