Auto Fill-In Capability?

[bbarrene]

Hello Everyone,

I am fairly new to microsoft Access so I do not know of all of the capabilities that it can do.



I was wondering if Access had the capability to have an auto fill-in feature.

For example: On some job applications they have information that you fill in but that info can automatically be filled in by uploading your resume.

I would like to do something similar to that nature with a database that I am trying to create.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Thanks

yes importing data is a routine function; it presumes the data is structured in an excel file or comma delimited text file....

otherwise - it it is unformatted, graphic, etc...then it is an attached file that is hyperlinked from the db to its stored location in another file

Thanks for the response.

My idea is to upload a Microsoft Word document to fill in the fields of a form. Do you know of where I could find information on how to do something like that? I have looked everywhere with no luck.

data from an outside document is imported or linked. the data must be in a formatted set up.

forms are sourced on either a table or query. they are user interfaces to the underlying data. thus one does not import data into a form - the data is either imported into a table or made into a query if linked.

this is fundamentals for all dbs, not just Access. You'll have somewhat of an advantage in linking/importing a Word doc with Access since they are integrated products - - but that data layout must be structured.
