hi, and thanks for your reply.

what would this "add-in" entail? would it be rather straightforward?

and also, would this solution be smart enough to link to a remote
database on the web?

If I wanted to use Word, I would probably do it the other way around -
create an add-in in Word to retrieve the data from the remote database,
rather than trying to automate Word on the client from a Web-based app.
There are some serious security issues to be considered before allowing a
Web-based app access to client-side resources. Think about what could happen
if your Web site got hacked.

An alternative would be to use a reporting solution designed for the Web,
such as SQL Server Reporting Services.

hi all,

from browsing this newsgroup, i'm become somewhat familiar with taking
Access data and merging it into a Word document using bookmarks.

but, how about if i want to store the Access data on a website? so from
a web based form, click on a button that merges the web-based access
data into a local computer's Word document. does the Word bookmark
method still work given this scenario?

or, is this a case where i need to employ XML?



thanks in advance.
