Hello Mr.Venu,
yes, of course, I took a look at it and I checked this out. It was quite
useable for mass-mailings, but not for single letters.
e.g. My database contains a lot of adresses. I created a dialogbox, where I
enter a name and now the corresponding adress will be looked up in th DB.
now if mysql returned only one row, a *.DOT document is loaded and I cut and
past each part of the adress from my hidden SQL result into the letterhead.
Problem is, that I have to use a second document for keeping the SQL-Result
and - which is a larger Problem - I cannot update any DB records.
regards,
Felix

Hi There !
I am quite new to this MyODBC topic, though I am used to create Perl
programs connecting to MySQL DBs. Currently I am able to fetch rows from
the
DB via MyODBC and show them in a blank document as a table.
Usually this is how I add data into my documents (like invoices, etc.):
I open a new document, get the data into a blank table, get the contents
of
the table and then copy and paste the data into my document.
Is there a better way, to get the data from the DB, e.g. using the DB
directly as a datasource?
Is there a way how I can update the DB with new data, e.g. write some
kind
of front-end within Word's VB ?
IS there a FAQ for all my Word-questions?
Did u had a time to look into the following section of the manual
under 'WORD'.
