I want to link a database into a word document and have it updated as and
when needed. I can get it to link but only as an object, is there a way
round this or can it be done
 
Hi =?Utf-8?B?U21va2V5?=,
I want to link a database into a word document and have it updated as and

Click to expand...
Display the DATA toolbar. Use the Insert Database button to connect and
select the table (or query). In the very last step you'll see a check box
that will say something like "Insert as field". You need to activate this in
order to get an active link. The result will look like a Word table; behind
it is a DATABASE field.

If you have problems, I will need to know which VERSION of Word you have, in
which application the database is, the exact error message you're getting,
plus any other details.
