How do I get the data collected in a VB form into specific locations in word 97 doc

[Nelly1965]

I am trying to control the input of data into a Word 97 document using a VB form to collect the data. How do I then best transfer this data into the correct locations on the document.

do you have microsoft access?

I have office 97 profesional so yes and VB6. The text box on the VB form has a control source property, how can I link this to a location on the Word document (maybe a bookmark?).

[jbennet]

you could get the form to put data into an access database then mail merge it from there into a word document?

Thank you I will look into that. I am not familiar with mail merging.

[jbennet]

mail merge is where you have a word document that gets data from an access database


e.g



mr you are in debt of to our company. please pay within 28 days or your account will be closed


Mail merge will make a document like that for every record
