At the risk of moderator censure (chuckle).....  This system of performing 
the task has been around for a long time....since Word 1 maybe.  Within the 
next 6 months (have you ever heard that before?) a new database system that 
will be interface-able with Word will (may be) up and running.  Currently, 
there *is* a database, but this is the only way to interface the information 
(apparently).
Well, since I initially wrote, I have made several attempts but with no 
positive luck.  I got a funny hunch that it cannot be done.
