RE: Pulling BOM data from BPCS into MS Word Document

This is done easier in MS Excel or MS Access. Both are ODBC compliant.
I use these programs on a regular basis to poll information from BPCS.
There are a lot of ways to do this. If I can be of help, let me know.

Subject: Pulling BOM data from BPCS into MS Word Document


Business Problem: Detailed process instructions exist in MS Word for
products and this is dispatched to the plant for instructions. We want
the
current BOM (MBM or FMA) from BPCS to be pulled into this document to
use
as a shop packet. It seems that Mail Merge may be able to accomplish
this.
Anyone have experience with this or doing something similar with MS Word
or
MS Access where a user would enter an item number and shop order number
and
it would retrieve  the records from BPCS?
