Steve,
01. Create a System DSN for your R:BASE Database using R:BASE
or Oterro (ver 2.5) ODBC Driver.
02. Launch MS Word and then use MS Query Wizard to link R:BASE
table(s) as Read-Only Mode.
Should you need step-by-step instructions, feel free to contact me
privately at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
