Merging fields from Access to Adobe LifeCycle Form NEVER HEARD BACK

Just wondering if you've come up with an answer to merging fields from Access to Adobe LifeCycle Form? I want to be able to do the same thing that Microsoft does with Word.
Merge fields from either Access or Excel into Word.

I talked to technical support and they say I'm to write a Javascript to do this. I have an extensive form that has many fields that need to be pre-filled; I'd like step by step instructions on how to do this.

Please let me know this is a big part of the question that I need addressed.

Thank you.

Hi nys2765,

Step by Step instructions to do what you want is not suitable for a forum. If it takes more than a few minutes to respond you probably won't get a reply, as the people who answer questions here are volunteering their time and have jobs of their own to get done.

Maybe this tutorial by Stefan Cameron will help you out-

Stefan has lots of other great info on his Blog on LCD topics. If none of that helps and you cannot locate tutorials with step by step instructions you may need to consider hiring a consultant to help with your project.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
