    Hello,
    I *really* need to be able to harvest comments from a number of Word documents and put them into an Access database. Unfortunately, I am not a VBA programmer. Any further code or clues you can offer would be most gratefully appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Cynthia

    Cynthia .. You need to loop throught the folder containing the documents - Dir function should be helpful for that. Open each document using Documents.Open and then run the above code snippet
