Access to Word Document

If you output an Access report to a PDF file, and then open the file in Word it will be converted to an editable version of the file, which can then be saved as a Word .docx file.  Images will be preserved in the .docx file.

For an illustration of how to output a report (invoice) as a PDF file  you might like to take a look at InvoicePDF.zip in my public databases folder at:

In this little demo file a button on the main invoices form outputs the current invoice report to a PDF file, which can be opened in Word and saved as a .docx file.

For an illustration of how to browse to a file in Access, and then open (or print where appropriate) the file in the default application for the file type, take a look at BrowseDemo.zip in my same OneDrive folder.  The file will not reflect any changes in the data in Access since the file was created.  For that you’d need to output the Access report to a PDF file again.Maxine14062
