Yea thats the one im using lol. I thought maybe there would be more to use that would be very benificial!

Could someone please give me a link or place to find a descreption of all the "More Tools" that you can use when building a form. If I had a list I could pick what is best for my database and explain things better to management...thanks.

Ok, yes, I am using a mail merge. Then I made a link on my switchboard to the file for the users. Is there a better way than that? It works pretty well...

How do I link to a file in the switchboard so the word document comes up when the user clicks to print his data. Thanks. If you have any other better way of making an identical letter for all the contacts, please let me know.

I created a database and put some time into it at work here. I am sure this is a simple fix but I need to know how to get my tools back at the top of access. :( What I did was open startup, unselected all the features that locks the database user out from changing settings and just using the...
