Hello,

I was wondering of it was possible to dynamically update a word document from either an access database or a web-based front end. I am developing an application in which the user selects options from a web based front end, one of these options being a report. I would like to be able to have the user selected information appear in a report that is generated at the same time (i.e. if the user selects options a, b, and c, when the report is printed the options that they select appear in the report.) Additionally there is a database attached to this application. If the information can not be sent directly from the front end, can Word automatically update a document from information that is contained in a database.

Any information on this topic would be very helpful.

Thank You,

Jason Vetovis
 
Have you looked at the Insert -> Object feature in Word to see if it does exactly what you want? Otherwise, you may be able to use VB (which I don't know).
