I would like to make a MSword form, when I type the form, it will directly connect to database and store the value. Which programming languauge should I use? Is it related with ODBC? MicrosoftWord form can interact with PHP + AJAX?? OMG, all your guys give me different direction.

    I am not too familiar with the capabilities of MS Word VBA Macros...the langauge is Visual Basic for Applications. Microsoft Access is the database program for Office, you can connect to it with the ODBC Interface and VBA. These days, Microsoft Office programs are focused a lot on XML for saving data in. This is probably what you want to do, but again I have never done it with Word. Here's the Word XML toolkit from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A56446B0-2C64-4723-B282-8859C8120DB6&displaylang=en Sorry I couldn't give a more complete answer, but I hope this sets you in the right direction. BTW, what you want has NOTHING to do with PHP or Ajax and shouldn't have anything to do with MySQL (a popular freeware database)...and SQL Server is probably really overkill unless you're the DBA for a server.

    MS Word has support for OLEDB and ODBC, but using word usually isn't very reliable when trying to connect to a database. If you are just doing simple forums, you could just use the built in functions in Microsoft Access (although Access isn't really a database, more of a glorified spreadsheet). If you wanted to create a good solution I would recommend downloading VS C# Express Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express - both of which are free and then create a custom solution using windows forums. There are some really good tutorials around to get started on your way.

    You can use Javascript with ASP and you will be on your way Basically you need to connect to the Data Base and then add the Data and then Close the connection Too easy :)
