Graphics from Access to Word

[Ton Reuvekamp]

I use Office 97 and want to export a report containing graphical
information such as lines, boxes and pictures to Word 97. In a proper office
program I would expect that this simply could be done by dragging the report
into my wordprocessor, but the only way seems to be by pressing the Word
icon after which the report is converted to a RTF file in which the T
apparently literally stands for text as al graphical information is lost. Is
this what Bill Gates considers an office program? Who can tell me the trick
to get my graphical info into Word.

Ton:

There is no way to export your Access graphics into Word. Access' RTF
export is lacking in this area. One possible solution is to design a "mail
merge" report in Word which accepts table data, and then "merge" the data
from the Access query.

I frequently use this method (mail merge to word). But what if your report
needs data grouping? I tried to solve this by creating a function called:
GetMultiRecordData(groupID), which results in a chr(13)+chr(10) seperated
list of all the records belonging to this group. Works, but is unbelievably
slow and ODBC, forget it but, only dde.
