Can you create a word document and then have access import fields from the
document into an existing table in access?
 
I bet it could be done; however it could be difficult. Depending on the
version of Access, you could create a web page and have data entered that
way. You could also create an Excel spreadsheet and link the database to it.
 
Hi Steve ... can you explain how ... with maybe a little example ... ??

Thanks!!

Access. You can also set up bookmarks in a Word doc and import the values in
the bookmarks into Access.

Careful when dealing with steve, he is an amatuer who believes he should be
paid for anything he does. He enjoys ignoring the free nature of these
newsgroups.

Niether of his suggestions are pratical and you should be looking at Word's
Form features. One of the features that would be useful is when saving a
document created by a Word form template to just save the data.

Dian Chapman, one of the Word MVPs, has a good example at

This should get you started. Feel free to ask forhelp there are many highly
qualified people in these newsgroups who enjoy helping for free.
