Want to create form button to create Word document

[Keziapurrs]

My office uses dozens of reports with fields that we manually update each time we use them (daily). Archaic, I know. I know how to link Word document fields back to an access table, but I'd rather have the users enter their data into an Access 2013 form and then push a button (or the like) that will create the word document (with dialogue that is pre-prepared). I don't want them having to open word and initiate a merge.

Am I clear enough? I have the data, the report and the document, but nothing flows yet. I'm fairly fluent in Access 2013, but in no way a pro. So layman's terms will be appreciated.

Many thanks!

Access can do this internally with a single line using the built-in reports.
DoCmd.OpenReport "rReport", acViewPreview ,,"[ClientID]=" & vID

Wont this work for you?

Thanks RanMan! I'll try that.

I forgot to mention that these reports contain static dialogue with fields that need to be updated via the form "execution button". Much like a mail merge, but many more fields. How do I set up the standard report for the fields to update to. Just type it into a blank report?
