I tried this before, but got no answers. I realized it was my fault; I got technical without knowing what I'm talking about. Simply, what I need is this.

I do these eviction cases. I would like to create a Mail Merge in Word 2003 that allows me to enter in the pleading information for both the defendants and plaintiffs.

The Plaintiffs' information includes the information for 15 different apartment complexes. So I'd like a table that includes each of the 15 different apartment complexes information (e.g. Name, address, owner, etc).

The Defendant information would be in another table. Each tenants eviction information is different (e.g. Name, Address, Back Rent)

Problem: I tried to create a mail merge that included all the plaintiff and defendant information and got errors because the information was contained in two different databases.

What I'd Like: I'd like to do is create a situation where I only have to fill in the defendants’ information (into a form?), because that's unique in ever case, and then choose the plaintiff by entering a single identifying # in a field on the form. Consequently, I would fill out the unique defendant information, but would pull in the particular Plaintiff information.

I was thinking that I could create a Word Doc, enter all the necessary fields for the mail merge, and then utilize a Make Table Query comprised of the Defendant and Plaintiff's information necessary.

My Problem: I do not know how to Pull in the particular Plaintiff information based on choosing the Plaintiff's #, by entering that # into the defendant's form.
 
Your best bet would probably be to have a combo box displaying plaintiff names and have that filter a subform that's based on the plaintiff table.

For merging to a word doc, I would think a query based on both tables would suffice. Join the two tables by address (although you're better off having a unique ID for each address, saves missing spaces etc. causing problems) and base your word doc on that.
