MS Word vba in MS Access

Question

I'm trying to use ms Access to open up ms word, create formfield and tables but always end up empty. I tried using the same code but replacing the entire code between "with doc" to .formfields("TxtDate").result = me.txt2 and is able to transfer whatever i typed in txt2 into the formfield located in ms word. Thus I'm unsure which portion of the code went wrong. Would like to seek help on my code. Thanks

Function FillWordForm()
Dim appword as Word.Application
Dim doc as Word.Document
Dim Path as String

On Error Resume Next
Error.Clear
Path = "H:\project delta\test.docx"
Set appword = GetObject(, "word.application")
If Err.Number <> 0 then
    Set appword = New Word.Application
    appword.Visible = true
End if
Set doc = appword.Documents.open(Path, , False)
With Doc
    Selection.TypeParagraph
    Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:= _
        WdFieldFormTextInput
    ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded = Not ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded
    ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=13, NumColumns:= _
        4, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:= _
        wdAutoFitFixed
    With Selection.Tables(1)
        If .Style <> "Table Grid" then
            .Style = "Table Grid"
        End If
        .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
        .ApplyStyleLastRow = False
        .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
        .ApplyStyleLastColumn = False
        .ApplyStyleRowBands = True
        .ApplyStyleColumnBands = True
        .Cell(1,1).Select
        Selection.TypeText Text:="S/N"
        .Cell(1,2).Select
        Selection.TypeText Text:="Package Title"
        .Cell(1,3).Select
        Selection.TypeText Text:="Reference"
        .Cell(1,4).Select
        Selection.TypeText Text:="Month"
    End With
appword.Visible = True
appword.Activate
End With
Set doc = Nothing
Set appword = Nothing

End Function

Often the issue is there is a Word process still running in background even though not showing in Task Manager. This can be caused by unqualified references to Word objects.

Prefix appword. in front of every Selection and ActiveDocument usage and code should then run every time. It does for me now.

This can also happen with automation code for other Office apps - Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, etc.
