>I might be reporting on a bunch of customers. My system is that I I have a Word file for each customer. e.g. Customer 'ABC01' has a file called 'ABC01.DOCX' and so on. So when I print the report, my idea would be to put retrieveword(custno) in the field instead of custmemo in the field. I would then have a function that would say:

I think even if the report exist, creating a new word mail merge may work better and easier to implement. I'm not sure how to 'embed' Word. You may save rtf version of the word document and use RichText control in the report and show it this way...
