Unfortunetly, an MS Word generated calendar was used for the approval process of our upcoming year's events. Rather than have to re-keystroke this information, ideally we could just import it some how.

Are there any suggestions on how best to approach this task?

Never heard of it...can it be saved as a simple text file?

Your best bet would be to access this via the Word API through VB. I assume the Word API makes this available to you, and if so, you can then use VB to parse it out and store it in the database.

If you create a new Word doc, often you will be prompted with a help window that contains numerous tabs. On the "Other Documents" tab there is a Calendar wizard. This calendar was created through this.

I am not familiar with the Word API. How can I access this? Is it what consists of MACROS?

Seems like this thread should be in MS Access forum....

No API mean Application Programming Interface....

You can "call" it to program with objects...
