hi Doug,

thanks for the code but when i run the 2nd code, i get error:

----------------------------------
compile error:

user-defined type not defined
-----------------------------------
as dao.database is highlighted

i also added MS ActiveX data objects recordset 2.7 library and MS ActiveX
data objects 2.5 Library, but still not working.

You should look at the links in my initial response to this thread.

Here are a couple of routines. The first imports data from a database
into
a Word document and the second populates a listbox (or it could be a
combobox) on a userform with data from a table in an Access database

Dim myDataBase As Database
Dim myActiveRecord As Recordset
Dim i As Long
Dim dtable As Table, drow As Row
'Open a database
Set myDataBase = OpenDatabase("c:\Access\Procurement Plan.mdb")
'Access the first record from a particular table
Set myActiveRecord = myDataBase.OpenRecordset("Currencies",
dbOpenForwardOnly)
'Add a table to the document with one row and as many fields as there are
in
the database table
Set dtable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range,
NumRows:=1,
numcolumns:=myActiveRecord.Fields.Count)
Set drow = dtable.Rows(1)
'Loop through all the records in the table until the end-of-file marker
is
reached
Do While Not myActiveRecord.EOF
'Populate the cells in the Word table with the data from the current
record
For i = 1 To myActiveRecord.Fields.Count
drow.Cells(i).Range.Text = myActiveRecord.Fields(i - 1)
Next i
'Add a new row to the Word table and access the next record
Set drow = dtable.Rows.Add
myActiveRecord.MoveNext
Loop
'The last row will be empty, so delete it
drow.Delete
'Then close the database
myActiveRecord.Close
myDataBase.Close

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim NoOfRecords As Long
' Open the database
Set db = OpenDatabase("D:\Access\ResidencesXP.mdb")
' Retrieve the recordset
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Owners")
' Determine the number of retrieved records
With rs
.MoveLast
NoOfRecords = .RecordCount
.MoveFirst
End With
' Set the number of Columns = number of Fields in recordset
ListBox1.ColumnCount = rs.Fields.Count
' Load the ListBox with the retrieved records
ListBox1.Column = rs.GetRows(NoOfRecords)
' Cleanup
rs.Close
db.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub

thanks doug,

what will be the code for importing fields into from/word from access?

Use a Combobox on the form that is populated with data from the
database
and
then set the MatchEntry attribute of the combobox to 1 -
fmMatchEntryComplete. Then if the use types the word into the
combobox,
the
record that contains that word in that field will be selected.

hi Doug,

thanks for reply, i want to add a search box on the form to search
for
data
from the database, e.g. have a textbox where user types in cust. ref
and
presses search button and relevant textboxes get populated with the
results,
e.g. cust add, date, etc.

hi

i made a form using ms word 2003 vba with few textboxes, when the
user
types
in one of the field, e.g. customer ref, the database imports few
selected
field from databse into bookmarks on word document, e.g. customr
name,
add,
date, etc.

i dont want to use the search option in mailmerge to find
records,
as i
also
want the user to type/add additional data on the textboxes in the
form
to
be
placed in bookmarks on document, as some data is not coming from
database.

anyone got idea?

thanks in advance
