Extracting Data from Word 2007 forms
I created a form for our agents to reduce the amount of paperwork they have
to carry with them. I decided to use a form in Word 2007. Now they're wanting to be able to extract data from these forms to upload to a database. I am having trouble finding a good way to extract this data in office 2007. My question is what is the best way to go about doing this? I've seen discussions on how to do it from office 2003 but can't seem to use the same procedure in '07. Do I need to create a Macro, VBA code, or is there some simpler way to do it that I've overlooked? |

Extracting Data from Word 2007 forms
Ahh, thanks for the replies guys. Yes, this should get me by in the mean
time. Though, I get the feeling that once I start doing this they'll want me to start dumping the data in to sql databases. I've seen some mention of VS 2008 being able to create addin's for office 2007 you guys have any useful tidbits on this? |

The short answer is that Visual Studio 2008 can be used to create add-ins
for Word, but its use is way out of context for this forum. Try a Visual Studio group if you want to explore that. Maybe you could start with http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/t-sql...om-sql-server/ -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Brian Young" wrote in message ...
