[WC Lo]

I want to use Word document to formatting a form (just like MS Access form) as the front end to update tables of a Access database. Does anyone as good experience? Can anyone recommend a good step-by-step programming book(s) to me?

Look at http://word.mvps.org/tutorials/BookRecommendations.htm. Last time I
played with Access, I used Excel as a front end.

In Access, there is subform feature which is very good. I wonder if there is the same or similar in Excel? Please talk more of yor experience. Can you do data validation in Excel against Access database? Thanks

Why wouldn't you use Access?

Well ... good question. I just want to propmte or raise the "smart usage" of Office to my end users. Nowadays, my users just use Word for cut and paste. I am thinking to build some Word templates as Front End of Access, for instance to input orders etc.

You, or a consultant for a fee, can create forms to add or use exsisting
data with Access that would raise the "smart usage" and cut down on the
cutting and pasting, helping your employees be more efficent. There is
another MS product that may help as well called Infopath. This would be a
form that would operate with familiarity to the end user, but actually
provides a front end to the database.

The Step by Step VBA books from Microsoft Press are good.
Also see the list of Word VBA books at my URL below.
