Mail Merge

[dbs_help]

Anyone have a good online resource for generating a single thank you letter, eg. by way of a mail merge using MS Access 2003 with Word 2003? I know you need to write a form letter first with various fields that conincide with fields in Access. I have done this many times with large mailings but need to know how to write individual letters for thank yous, invites, etc.

Thanks in advance

Do you want to do this with code or manually?

Either way is OK. Code would probably be better as I am trying to set up a system for a data entry person who is not that experience with computers. If the code is transparent and she need only feed in the appropriate fields, that would work fine.

For instructions on manual mail merge see:

for a sample of mail merge (Access 2000 but should be doable) see section "Super Easy Word Merge" here
