Word Template Info Stored in Access??

Sep 25, 2005 9:30PM PDT

Hi Im quite new to going into this much depth with Access and Word. What ive got is a template for minutes for meetings. So in this template ive got people that attended- issues etc basically information from that meeting. I also have an access database with these fields in it. Is there any way of populating my database with the information from my word template?

Thanks for any help

Keith

Yes.

The short answer is yes. You can program such up in VBA but that's your work to do. Are you programming it up? What step is eluding you?

Keith,

Unless you are willing to write VBA-coding (extract info from Word, put in in Access) I would say the best way is just manual copy-paste. You won't find an automatic of-the-shelf way, I'm afraid.
