    Import data from access to word

    Hello all. I am new to the forums and was wondering if someone can provide some help with a problem that I have. I have a access database with 8 columns and I have a word doc with 6 columns. In word doc I have been doing a search in the access database and getting the corresponding numbers that are next to it in a another column. I then paste this information into the word doc. The problem is that there is 65 pages of information in the word doc that I need to search the access databases and paste the information into the word doc. I was thinking about some sort of macro that would help automated this process. If this works I would need the macro or code to search the access data for the entries in word and match the data from the database to the doc and place it into word into a certain ccolumn. Can anyone offer any suggestions or direct me in the correct location. Thanks in advance

    I don't understand your post. Are you using a word document to drive a search for matches in your access database? if you are can you just import the word document into access (either import or link it to the original document) and use it to create a query? at the very worst if your word document is a set of columns of data you'd have to convert it to a text file to link it into access but trying to go back and forth between word and access is going to be a problem.

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