Hello! Please, does anybody know how to import MS Word (with .doc extension)
documents into Access 2000 database table?
do you know the VBA code that does it, or is there any link with article
describing it?
I know how to do it with .txt, .csv and dbf files, but .doc documents are my
curse so far :((

Thank you for any help

Greetings, Maciek from Poland

need to convert the file from .doc to .txt using saveas
method in MS Word. Save the file in text format and carry
out the operation again. If you want to automate this you
could record a macro in MS word. record the process of
saving the file in text format. copy the macro generated
codes and copy it in your access VBA code. for more
information write to rbsolu@yahoo.co.in
