    Copying Access Form to a Word Doc


    I created my first access form today. I would like to send it to my friends as a word doc (or maybe even as the text of an email) so that they can fill out the form and send it back to me. Is there a way to do that? Cheers!

    thanks for the articles, but that doesn't answer what i'm looking for. what i did was i created a table in access, then i create a form based off of that table to make for easy inputting into the table. i thought that i would be able to share that form with people who don't have access. is there a way to do this? all the export features export the database and not the form. i'm not concerned with the shared form entering info directly to the database, i just want something that others can fill out.

    Ah, no... You can't insert a form (which would actually be a picture in a Word document) in Word have Users fill it out and return it to you. You would have to use the methods June7 outlined.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
