J John Lane Dec 14, 2008 #3 No problem. Going to launch Access, and just wanted to make sure Word's VB supported the Shell command before I slogged thru looking for it or created a test case.

D Doug Robbins - Word MVP Dec 14, 2008 #4 Using Shell may not be the most appropriate method. See the article "Access a database and insert into a Word document the data that you find there" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/GetDataFromDB.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP
