Storing Word Documents in Access

[timnicholls]

Has anybody had any success in storing Word documents in an Access database?

I have a mail merge set up for individual documents. So I am in Word to edit the document before saving, I then save it to 'MyDocuments'. Its not possible to save a *.doc insode and Access DB.

If its not possible to do that, is it possible to view, access the documents from within Access to edit more later on and print out etc.

Thanks
Tim

Do not try to save a word doc in access. You can manipulate word documents from access using the word object model.
