Write a Report in Word

[ninash]

Hi All,

Where to start???
As you have guessed I don't even know where to start with this one.
I need to be able to write a word document based on selections that the user makes from Forms in Access.
I have tried writing a report within access then exporting it to word but the formatting always falls apart.

I know this going to need loads of formatting as well but I am hoping that someone is going to be able to give me a few pointers and I can make some headway on this project.

Thanks in advance
Tony

You can do it using bookmarks, i have written an access 2000 class module to allow you to do it quite simply. you can mail me at wonderhands77@hotmail.com. If you like.

A qick and easy solution is to save your report as a Snapshot file. The software is available free from Microsoft and all that is then required is the person who wishes to view the file to download the software too.

I use it extensively for sending reports to management.
