RE: Letters

Hello Warren

Yes, you can link a Word document to an Access Database through mail merge in Word. Simply select the database as the source for the data when creating the mail merge.

You might want to create a specific query with all the records you want to mail to in Access, prior to linking via the mail merge. That way the data is filtered in access and you don;t have to worry about it in the Mail Merge process.

Regards

Richard

Access tip:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub

3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
