Hi All!,
I've searched the fourms but I can't find anything specific to this. I'm trying to create customized letters using a data table containing names, addresses, order numbers etc.
I want a standard letter, but I want the name, address and order number to change for each letter (e.g. Dear Mr. Jones, Dear Mr.Smith, etc). I also want to print each letter and as the letter is printing, make the changes to each letter.
Any ideas of how to get started? A general direction and a hint of code should be all I need. Thanks!

What you are referring to sounds like a Mail Merge:
__1 Select the Table containing the relevant data within the Database Window.
__2 Make sure the Database Toolbar is visible. If not View, Toolbars, Database.
__3 Click the Office Links button on the Database Toolbar.
__4 Click Merge It with MS Word.
__5 Select the appropriate Option within the Microsoft Mail Merge Wizard then OK.
__6 You should now be in a Microsoft Word Document and you can work the options in the Mail Merge Toolbar which is now visible in Word.
__7 This should give you your customized letters, 1 for each Record in your Table but you must do the actual work. e.g. Insert standard text, merge fields, etc.
I think this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the direction.

Hi there
The story is as follows: I write up some pretty detailed reports on people,
and what I am wanting to do is speed up the process as a proportion of the
reports that I am writing are quite repetitive.
What I had though of was a form that you select key settings and based on
that it writes out the letter in an intelligent manner:

Hi Everybody
I have an Access 2000 database full of names and address, the usual

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if it's possible to allow an end user of an Access DB to
personalize the layout of their own reports.
What we would like to do is allow them to select the information they want
on a particular report. Say for instance if using an invoice form, some
clients want to add discount columns and some don't. Is it possible to have
perhaps a "Setup Form" that tells a report what information is wanted on the...

Hi:
I am trying to create customized confirmation/error/etc dialogs in my

the various necessary flags (buttons, icons, etc). By "customized", I
mean I want complete control over the color of the messagebox, the
position/color/size of the buttons, etc.
Do I need to create a custom form from scratch, or is there a way to
subclass MessageBox? (I'm guessing I need to...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
