Default Word as Data Entry Form for Access?

Is it possible to create a Word template where users can input information
and click a button which then adds the added information into fields in an
Access database? Word 2003 and Access 2003. If so, please provide a link to
instructions or more info.

TIA

Although this "can" be done it is a rather complex task & renders a very
fragile result. IMHO, You'd be far better off allowing those users into
Access to enter data through a Form there - security & permissions in the
Access file can be established to allow that activity *only* if need be.
Also, the form can be far simpler to create & includ properties to prevent
anything other than entering data.

Alternatively, consider using Access' Data Access Pages if the users cannot
have the program available. The company's intranet or network would permit
use of the Page through the user's browser (IE 6 or later, I believe).
