The macro language for Microsoft Word for Windows is called "WordBasic." Information about this language is contained in Word's on-line manual; however, neither the standard or on-line manual includes any information about functions necessary to manage ODBC.
For information on managing ODBC calls with Word and writing WordBasic macros, you must purchase the "Word Developer's Kit" printed by Microsoft Press. This book contains a complete description of calling ODBC, along with a diskette of sample files and a library called WBODBC.WLL. In Word, a WLL is library of additional functions that extend the original WordBasic. WBODBC.WLL is a library of functions necessary to call an ODBC driver and is required for anyone who wants to interface Word to ODBC data sources.
