    Post Exporting my Contact Report from Access to Word

    Thanks to Gicu, I was able to get my contact photos showing with my contact data for each record in my Contacts access database. Now I want to export the report to MS Word to create a Roster for all my contacts. I have approximately 167 contacts and each one has a photo attached showing their image. When I fist exported the report into MS Word, it worked fine, EXCEPT, the photos didn't come across.



    So my question is, how do I export my report with all the data fields and photos to MS WORD?

    Cant you just make a report, then export it to 'word usable': RTF?

    docmd.OutputTo acOutputReport ,"rMyReport",acformatRTF ,vFile

    Why Word, the easiest would be PDF as that would just involve a Docmd.OutputTo command? To make pictures show up in Word gets a bit complicated, you can look into mail-merge to get the data and the pics, if you must have it in Word you should maybe prepare a sample db with a couple of dummy records and your desired output.
