Using Microsoft Access can a Word document with graphics be placed in Access as a report

it worked.  Thanks

If this is to be done in Access, then it would be best to do this from scratch.
In Access this is a simple "Report"
based on a table.

"Simulating" a Word document with an Access report will be cumbersome to manage as things change in the Word Document.
...or is the Word doc just a "Mock-Up" of what they want?

But even before you consider a Report you need a form to select the image and fill in all the fields...

So we really need to know the scope of this Project...

question.  When it prints only the fields I overlaid print.  Everything else is black

I didn't expect the accept to happen as quickly, I would have liked to opportunity to assist further.  A good point made by boag2000, I assumed, maybe incorrectly that you already had the database and that this was merely creating a report merging the document with existing data.  Is this not the case?

andymacf,

Your post was perfectly valid...
;-)

Jeff

you are correct.  I have another post with the same issue

jrsitman,

andymacf's  post should have worked for you.

Can you post a sample DB of what you tried?

Also, pleas address andymacf's concerns:
<I assumed, maybe incorrectly that you already had the database and that this was merely creating a report merging the document with existing data.  Is this not the case?>

...then we can go from there...

Thanks Jeff, appreciate your comment and I was prepared to do a bit more work on this.

We have a form that has all the information about our adoptable animals, including their photo.  I created a report that list some basic info along with the photo.  Our graphics person created a much better looking document which has graphics in it.  I want to overlay the fields in the document.  Which works except it print out black with the exception of the items I overlayed.

hope this helps.

OK, so the data is in Access, ...correct?

<Our graphics person created a much better looking document which has graphics in it. >
Is that what you posted...

This can be replicated almost exactly with an Access report.
...or you can use the "Overlay" method that andymacf outlined.

I don't see how you are getting:  "Everything else is black"

I will post a sample in a few...

Yes access.  I just pasted it in as a jpg and it is now printing properly.

See this as a *Start*, we can pretty it up to look just like the Word Doc.

*However* the underlying table structure and relationships must be correct *FIRST*.

This is why you posting a sample DB is so important...

@boag2000 and @andymacf for all the help.  You pointed me in the right direction.  It is working perfectly.

Thanks for continuing to assist.
