Quick question: Access & Word

Is it possible to create secure forms in Word and have the data entered populate an access database?

Project: Take a stack of manual user forms, have users input data from several of the forms to be able to store and report from, and automate other manual forms, in a much more simplified manner. Issue, users very un-accepting to change and not computer literate. Need to make forms look as similar to the original ones as possible.

No I am not allowed to use anything but MS Access, Word, Excel, or outlook.

Thanks in advance. :thumb:

I think it might be easier to create a data entry form in Access, then export the data to Word when necessary. Just my 2 cents worth.

What do you mean by "secure forms"?

Yes that is the plan, I was just looking for a different way since these users are very pc illiterate and need the forms to look so much alike.

something the user is unable to mess up :)

You just need to code in data validation for all the data entry points for them. Its the only way.
