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?).

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

<address>

mr <name> you are in debt of <balance> 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
