Hello,

Is there anyway of taking the information from a record shown in an Access
form and programmatically putting that into a Word form?
 
Yes, you can invoke Microsoft Word from Access and programatically build Word
documents.
It's not trivial however, since you need some knowledge of the Word object
model.
You can figure most of it out using the Object browser.
You will need to set a reference to the Word object library.

Like Dorian said, sure it's possible. What exactly did you want to
put into the Word form, the contents of a some fields in a single
record? Multiple records (say from an Invoice)... There's an example
in the Desktop Edition of Developer's Handbook. I just wrote a
routine that stuffs the contents of a bunch of queries into different
cells of a table in Word.... So you can many things... the question
is what do you want to do (specificially)?
