Access reports

Hello All.
I work for a travel agency. One of my duties is to contact hotels to
negotiate the best rates for blocks of rooms. Since I must have the quotes
in writing, I must fax the same hotels in major cities quite frequently.
I've used Word's Mail-merge with Excel spreadsheets before to create these
forms but I'm wondering if Access will do a better(easier/more convenient)
job?

You can certainly do this job entirely in Access. However, without knowing
what aspects of your current solution you are finding difficult or
inconvenient, it's hard to make comparisons.
Keep in mind, too, that:
Access does not offer all of the formatting refinements available in
Word.
You will have a learning curve associated with making this transfer,
especially if you are not yet proficient in Access.

IOW, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you think it is broke, Access may
be a good fix.
