They are wanting to use word to print out some cards 4 to a page
preformatted stuff from an access database.
the problem with this is they don't want to do the same card twice.
How can setup a variable in the table for printed and update it from
word when I do a merge?
I thought about macros in word but at my work they have macros turned
off on all systems.
any help or ideas are greatly appreciated

You don't. You run the whole thing from within Access.
Run Merge. (Albert Kallal has a nice example on his website)
prompt user for "Printed OK?" using MsgBox.
If intReply=vbYes then
docmd.openquery "update selected records"
End if
Have you considered doing this with a label report rather than mail merge?
You can set up the report to print four to a page. You get more control
doing it this way.

Poor Steve, you still don't understand... This is *not* a game...
You can't post just like nothing happened.
To all: Explanation and more on this answer to Steve: http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/stopsteve.html
It is clear that Steve was NOT advertising/jobhunting in this post, *but* ...
==> Sadly enough this is the second time a real 'hunt' has started.
Again: The idea to stop Steve is as simple as this:
==> Hunt *every* post of PCD, no matter if he is advertising.
==> UNTIL he stops the advertising/jobhunting.
*************** *************** *************** *******
To Steve, who started his blatant advertising and job-hunting again ...
*************** *************** *************** *******
-- You abuse this group and others for job-hunting and advertising over and over again
-- You are insulting lots of people here when they ask you to stop this
-- You hide your identity while asking questions
-- You try to sell a CD ($125,--) with FREE code you gathered from these groups here
-- You posted as Steve, Ron, Tom, Rachel, Kathy, Kristine, Heather and ???
(the latest 'star's': 'Access Resource' and Tom no***@email.com)
-- There even has been a 'Scam-alert' about you which has been explained recently in the thread 'To all': http://groups.google.com/group/comp....954261f9?hl=en
-- Recently it became clear that you have been spamming innocent people asking questions: http://groups.google.com/group/comp....3e5f58ad?hl=en
So why would ANYBODY ever trust a person like you and hire you?

Thanks to everyone will give it a try and see if that is what they

Sadly, in this case *YOU* are the one who comes off as the newsgroup

Bri,
I can understand people who are not happy with this.
However I wonder if you actually did read the link I provided.
The plan to stop Steve, is to hunt *every* post, no matter if he's advertising or not.
I did *not* start this because of this thread... but because of these:
(microsoft.publ ic.access.getti ngstarted, all from last week)
-- Computer Inventory question
-- Still need to track attendance of bus riders
-- Before i throw myself into Access, a small question....
-- Building a database
-- Phone support
-- Help, no table
In all these threads advertising/jobhunting by PCDatasheet.
Same old story, same old song.
I am not the only person who told Steve these are free forums. His answer was posting another add.
If you see another way to stop this maniac?

Arno,
As I said, Blast the e-mails that advertise, ignore the others. This
combines both positive and negitive feedback. If you attack all of his
posts, good or bad, then there is no reason for him to change since he
will get blasted either way.
I have read your links and have followed all of your other posts in the
past reguarding this. I agree he needs to stop advertising, but I
disagree with blasting him when he does follow the rules.

You sound very reasonable Bri.
I just can't think of another way to stop this advertising/jobhunting maniac.
Attacking only the advertising did not help that much in the past.
Discussion with Steve only results in 'word-twisting'.
His real name is his weak point. He can't hide his real name ...
The earlier threads on this at least have resulted in Steve going away for a while.
(He 'promised' me to do some homework ...)
There has been hardly any advertising here in the groups in the two periods that Steve was gone.
As far as I am concerned he might as well stay away.
But as I said, your opinion sounds very reasonable.
If more people think like you, I will reconsider this 'hunt'.

Arno, do you want to land in everyone's killfile? If you insist on
responding to someone in CDMA based on posts they've made somewhere
else (I don't read any other Access newsgroups), then *you're* the
one who is annoying the hell out of me, and ^you're* the one whose
posts will be ignored by increasingly large numbers of CDMA readers.

I've created a mail merge Word doc. (using Office XP) , the data source is

Functionality I'm attempting to set up is:

The query reads address info from the table for each record where is
