Maybe. Maybe not.

Okay I won't leave it at that! I just couldn't resist! < rbg >

I don't know how workable it would be since Word doesn't readily input VFP tables. But you might be able to do it through an ODBC connection.

Then it would be a matter of programming VBA code in Word for seeking a record.

I know. This is as bad as no answer. Probably you want to know is worth really investigating?

>Hello All,
>a user on my current site asked me if it is possible to enter a value from within Word ( form field ) ( e.g. a PK value ) and automatically populate some other form fields on the form from Foxpro tables, I recalled an article from Foxtalk Mar 97 by J. V. Petersen, which demonstrated a similar scenario using OLE servers, but did not show a Word example, I'm quite confident of the VFP side but how do I reference Word merge field values?, apologies if this seems a tad on the vague side but what are friends for?
