Hi,

I need to create some kind of mailmerge that links a Word doc to a single
file (Excel, Access, whatever) which contains an extensive glossary, and let
the user pick wich terms from that glossary want to include in the active doc.

Any help will be much appreciated.

MrSWF

I would create a userform containing a multiselect listbox that would be
populated with all of the items. The user could then select from the
listbox the items to be included. The following routine will load such a
listbox

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

and to for the code to determine which items are selected, See the article
"How to find out which Items are selected in a Multi-Select ListBox" at:
