Using VBA to insert MS Word 2000 Form fields

[Worsty]

We have an application in MS Access that merges data from the database into a Word Form. The Word Form contains Word Form Fields. Because we are merging the form fields are lost after the merge. I understand that there is a way to insert Word Form Fields in VBA after the merge. Could anyone give me some guidance as to how to do this? A sample piece of code would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance

We have it in a module in Access.

When I set break on All Errors it broke here in the RidesMergeWord Function
Set wordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

I got a Runtime Error429 ActiveX Component can't create object

Hi Worsty,

I would recomend doing a search on google and reading up about late and early binding, and the differences between CreateObject and GetObject. Very important concepts to understand and they will help you with the above error.
