Is there a way to access ODBC databases easily from within Word 2002?

I have a template that starts with a user form, in that user form, the end
user is asked to enter a client number. I want to be able to retrieve the
client data based on that number.

The data is in Foxpro 6

Any direction here would be great as I'm not having much luck finding a "yes
you can/no you can't" type answer

See the article "Access a database and insert into a Word document the data
that you find there" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/GetDataFromDB.htm

Not sure how applicable it is to Foxpro however.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
