Export report to Word document

[Nadine67]

Hello and thank you for any attention my post may receive.

I have a report in my Access db which I would like to export as a DOC or RTF so that images can be pasted to it, rather than import the images in the db which will take up too much room.

I can successfully export the report as both DOC and RTF which is fine however ideally the document fields and formatting need to be protected, except for the two fields where an image will be pasted. Is this possible? Or is there another file format which will achieve my goal. Or is there another solution such as exporting to a template document?

I would also like to save the document to the user's desktop and open upon export.

Thank you and have a great day!

Paul I have referenced MS Office 16.0 Word Library and placed this code in the db (attached to a command button)....and added the following, to 'update the document', to your code

With wdDoc
  'update the document
  .FormFields("EIID").Result = Me!EIID
  'save & close

Paul my field is populating as it should and so I will now add the rest of the fields.

Thank you so very much Paul. I do appreciate you patience and valuable help.

Have a great day Paul!
