Hi, I am designing a database to manage our contacts, and despatch of our
marketing materials. We have 4 product brands and a total of 12 products -
each required a separate individually addressed letter.

i have my database form which displays establishment, and on a sub form,
users can enter/select the required contact within the Establishment (we
have multipl contacts per Establishment). Users then select what product
information/marketing materials are required from drop down lists.

Ok so here is where I need advice. At this point I need to print out the
individual letters to the enquirers. I seem to have two options (unless
anyone comes up with better ideas)

1. As I exit the record, transfer the information to separate temporary
tables from which i can then run my mailmerge letters

2. Do a single query to select all records, sort them and then run some code
to look at each record to determine which letter needs to be written and
mailmerged.

Are either of the above better than the other?

Advice gratefully received

thanks

Alex
