I would like to have an Access application that will output either a MS Word .doc file or some other format readable by MS Word. Is this possible using Visual Basic in Access? My ultimate goal is to have the output is a format readable by people who don't have MS Access
THanks.
 
You can use the word object, you will have to reference it first.

A couple of options:

- Export a Report to a .rtf (rich text format) file. This can be read
by Word. Unfortunately the appearance sometimes leaves much to be
desired.

- Export the Report to a Snapshot .snp file, and have the recipient
download the Snapshot Viewer from Microsoft's website.
