Write to document from Access form

Hi NISMOJim,

To insert the same kinds of formfield in the new Word document, use the 'Legacy Forms' button on the Ribbon's Developer tab. What you need is the text formfields and you need to give them the appropriate bookmark names (as described above).

Thanks so much. That Developer tab wasn't on my ribbon, and Legacy Forms don't even sound familiar. I never would have got this working if it weren't for your help!

Not to be too picky, but the field shows up shaded in gray with the brackets around it. How can I get it to show up without this so it looks like the rest of the document?

Thanks again for your help. Things are starting to look up for this project!

OK, I got the brackets to go away, but not the gray shading in the textboxes. In Word Options, I selected 'Field Shading: Never' but it's still there.
Any ideas?
