208499 2004-01-19 08:59:00 if this requires an elaborate answer or the best way is to get the book i'll understand

o/s win98 - msword97/msaccess97

i have a data base in access and a standard letter in word - i'd like to enter updated data and parts of records to the letter - e.g. premise names, addresses, salutations, times - as some, without having to edit each letter individually, which as you can imagine, can take some time specially when there are maybe 100 letters each week

i wanted to attach a copy of the type of letter but don't know how??

208500 2004-01-19 09:03:00 You can do a mail merge with the data source being Access. YOur help should give you a start on this. JohnD (509)
208501 2004-01-19 09:34:00 For this one you need a Mail merge.

In Word you pick Fields from the Database ( Access )

Dear <field> etc ad nauseum.
