>A good way to figure out what you want to do is to fire up Word and run through the steps interactively while recording a macro. Wherever the data goes, simply use your field name as the text. When done, stop the macro and examine it in the VBEditor (I use Alt-F11 to get there quickly, but I think it's under Tools | Macros | VBEditor). Open the Module, and you'll find some VB code. It's not too hard to translate to VFP <s>. There's a good KB article on how to do that at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q160/0/64.asp (KB article #Q160064 if the link doesn't work).

Della,

Let me be more specific. I want to open Word with a pre-typed letter in it (the two page survey) and simply insert the address information from the current VFP record at the top. (as I understand your example, it is creating a new document). I'll try to show my "concept" below:

****************************************************************
cName
cAddr1
cAddr2
cCity, cState, cZip

This is the beginning of the pre-existing letter, which is two pages in length...and it never changes..............
***************************************************************

Thanks,
