Need Help Creating Database to link with Word

M

Matt

Hey all,

was having problem linking a database to Ms Word.
I'm new to access, but i have some tables set up with information on them
that i'd like to insert into word when they are selected.

How would i go about creating a 'page' or 'system' that gives me a list of
the names i have in my table and when i select them, it will automatically
put all my information about that particular name/data entry into Ms Word?

if any one could help me it would be great!!!!

thanks, matt

The easiest way, if I understand your problem correctly, is to selecet
the record(s) in the table, copy it, open the Word doc, pastes special
RTF.
If you have more than one record of a person on a date, you can create
a query and sort by name first and date second. That way all of the
records for a person on a date will be together to select - select the
first in the series, hold the Shift key down and then select the last
in the series. To sleect a record you left mouse click in the gray
square to the left of the record in datasheet view.
