    How to create a report imported from Word document and Email it as PDF

    Hello!



    I have a template letter in Word that I want to import into Access, so when I choose from a combo box an employee's ID, it automatically displays a report using the Word document template and filled with all related information of that employee (name, nationality, etc.) + it shows today's date. Then I can Save&Email to an Outlook contact.

    I hope I made it clear.

    Thanks in advance!

    Access has a reports section, so you dont need Word.
    The report can be emailed too.

    Can't import Word document.

    What you have to do is a mail merge with Word and Access. Royal PITA.

    As ranman pointed out, build report in Access.
