Access Mail Merge

Hi,
I used to have this Template in word that would have a bunch of
bookmarks. Then in access I used to be able to, at the click of a
button, replace those bookmarks(not merge fields) in word with data
from access query or form. I think it must have been a query. Anyhow I
forgot how to do this, and lost all files/tutorials. If anyone knows a
site that explains how to do this I would appreciate a post. Thanks.

I have a computer with XP on it. I loaded Office 97 first because I needed Access 97 for some work. I then loaded Office 2000. Everything seemed to be running fine.

I have a strange situation using Access to automate a Word mail merge. Using Access 2000 and Word 2000, the code opens Word, opens the document in Word, sets a table in the calling Access application as the data source, and then performs a merge. Everything works fine. However, when a user uses it in Access 2002 and Word 2002, an extra instance of the Access application is opened and remains open at the end. Sometimes it remains open

In Access2000 mass emailing worked perfectly (very powerful tool!). Doesn't work when using XP version of both Access and Outlook, even though I checked the box to ensure that I was sending the email. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I have set up a mail merge document in Word 2003 which gets its data from my Access 2000 database. I want to set up a button on a form that: 1. runs the query to provide the dat for the merge document in Word; 2. opens the document and runs the merge process for the new data. I have managed to write the code to perform step 1 ok, but I'm having trouble with step 2. It opens the word document fine but does not perform the mail merge of...

I developed an Access 2003 program that will allow the user to produce a group of Word letters that merge with data records from an Access database. I created a mail merge Word document and associated it with a specific query in my Access database. My problem is that when I run my "create letters" button from an Access form, the program opens up Word correctly with the proper letter. However, the MailMerge toolbar in Word appears...

Help!!! What am I doing wrong? I am working with Office 2003 and am trying to create a command button on an Access form that will create a mail merge in Word from an Access table. I want to make the mail merge seamless to the user so all they have to do is click on the command button and the letters are generated. For the button I created an event procedure with the following code: Private Sub RunLetters_Click()

Firstly, I have no problem with mail merging to Word, VB code for that works perfectly. On one mail merge I need to merge 15 fields of data that are from 3 seperate records. The 3 records are all in the same table. If I use a control source that is selecting the 3 records, all of the data is shown but spread over 3 pages in the mail merge, but needs to be listed together in one paragraph. Is there anyway of looping through the 3...

Hello! First off, many many thanks to Albert who wrote the Mail Merge code for MS Access I am using. It has been working beautifully for a few years. However, my client just (without notice!) upgraded from Access 2000 to Access 2007. Now that component is failing. The merge is building the data source file fine (text file named merge.888). I am providing an absolute path reference to the word file being used for the mail merge. ...

I want to write a VBA mail merge code. I want to link the code/macro/dohicky to a nifty little button so it makes life easy. I think I can handle the button part, the code part - not so much. I know very little (actually probably nothing) about VBA and I'm currently learning my way around Access. Basically, I want to click a button in the form that merges the letter for me, only for the one record I'm currently viewing..not the whole...

Hi all, I am trying to create an Access database for use purely as a more efficient way to enter fields into a Mail Merge for a friend who is an attorney. Currently, I am using Word's mail merge, but the problem with that is that it is time consuming and inefficient because there is no way to set it up to recognize commonly used entries and autofill the field. The first paragraph of the form letters look something like this (the parts...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
