Linking Access 2003 to a Word Document

Is this possible? I have no idea where to even begin.

Thanks!

It certainly is. I'm looking into the same thing at the moment, have a peek at:

All I'm trying to do is to click a button on an Access form that'll output some data from the form into a pre-prepared Word document. Is that what you're after doing?

Actually what I am doing is this:

Someone has some data in a word document. They have an access database and soon there will be grants coming in. They do not want to type in all those addresses and names back in, so they want to link somehow to the word document that contains this information and anytime the word document is updated, they can see it in access. Not sure exactly how to do it, but will look at that article.

thanks
