RE: Access

Hi Sarah,

You can store the details of the letter in tables
So perhaps 2 tables, one containing the contact details for each recipient, then the letter details in another table. You could also do it ini just one table, depending on your DB structure.


Then use a query, if needed, to extract relevant data


Then create a report that looks like a letter.
So in the Detail section you would have the letter content in a text box or label control.

Perhaps in the page header, you could put the contact details.

Remember to force each record to appear on a new page, in the way you learnt on the intermedite course. (Under properties for the report itself).

Regards

Richard

 

Access tip:

Closing form after a certain time period

To make a form close automatically after a certain time period, you need to assign the close function to a macro.

Save the macro and ope up the form in design view. open the Properties sheet.

In the TimerInterval property enter the length of time you want the form open for. This should be in milliseconds, so for instance if you want the form open for 5 seconds enter 5000, for an minute enter 60000.

You now need to attach your macro (to execute the Close action) to the OnTimer event property of the form.
