I'm new at this and am stuck....I am working on a document program that
starts in Access entering data that will be printed with mail merge. I would
also like the documents to print in a "batch" (approx 5 different forms).
How can I go from the entry form in Access, open Word and print the forms? I
would also like to be able to print individual forms as needed.

Thanks for your help....

Are the forms that you want to print in Access or Word?

I do not think you can do this in one operation, but you can use an operation
to open the Word file that uses your mail merge. Exactly how new are you at
this? i can explain in a couple ways - let me know if you want my help!!
good luck and good day!

I'm fairly new at Access and am still struggling at doing the really
important things like macros and operations. How can you open Word and have
specific mail merge documents print from different controls in Access? I am
printing from Access to mail merge documents. The form (templates) are in
Word.

I will galdly accept any help or advice you can give me. Thanks
