Reports v Word

[ian_ok]

For the mailing of letters I currently use Word via merge, I read quite often of people using reports.

Would database life be easier using reports, ie for filtering, quicker at opening etc.

Any suggestions and ideas welcome

Yes! I stopped using word a long time ago,just about the only problem with documents from access reports is the inability to apply variable formatting without a third party add in.

Hi Rich (again)

I think you must have a satalite receiver to home in on my questions!! (Thank you)

What type of add in...?

.. I noticed that when I first tried doing a letter in a report the formatting went all over..I did use copy and paste method.

Any suggestions are welcome.
