How to stop opening of multiple instance of Access 2000 after upd.

When I update a feild in MS Word, Access opens up to get the proper
information, but does not close when it is finished. Essentially, every time
I update a feild, I get 2 instances of Access 2000. This did not happen with
Access 97. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

You might need to change the method you are using.

Hi,
There is no other way to manually update a MS WORD field. This also occurs
with some automatic SQL code that is hooked to Access 2000. Due to it not
occurring in Access 97, and not 2000, there is hopefully a fix for it, or a
way to curb it.

Has anyone come across this, and resolved it?

You might need to describe what you are doing. Are you referring to a Word
Merge Field? Are you running any code in Word (or Access) that you would
care to share with us?

Hi,
I have a requirements database in Access, that contains tables of, for
example, constants. In MS Word, I created a feild, that goes into the DB, and
grabs the constants per some requirements, and puts them in tabel form in
Word.

The problem is the way Access, as a whole, acts. Say I update a bunch of
data in my constants table in the DB. I now have to open the applicable Word
Documents, and update the field that querys the constants table in MS Access.
When the DB was in Access 97, I could not have Access open, and when I
updated the word field, Access would open, update the Word feild and close
automatically (through no programming, or setting settings). I had to convert
this database to Access 2000. Now when I update a field, Access opens and
stays open after doing the update. Not only does an instance of my DB open,
but it also opens my "top level" form. So in essence, each time I update a
Word feild, I get two db instances on my taskbar. After working for 1 hour, I
have 50 things to close. It gets annoying.

I have looked in options, settings, and the internet for a solution, and
cannot find anything.

Did I make the problem clear?

Thanks so much.

This might be clear to someone else but not me. I still have no idea how you
are doing your update from Word. Are you opening an ADO recordset from Word
and then find specific records in Access to update bookmarks in Word?
