Combined address in one table "but Only default address" into a qu

[Terra]

I have one tblContacts that has "Home" and "Work" address included within it,
I also have an option button 1="Work" and 2="Home". I need to prepare a
mailling report but only for the defaut address. Can anyone show me how I can
go about doing this?

what is it that indicates which is the default? ...the 1 or 2 ??

if so then you need a query with the criteria for 1 that displays only Work
info for those records with a 1

then you need a query with the criteria for 2 that displays only Home info
for those records with a 2

so your mailing list is actually 2 mailing lists...you can put them onto one
report using a subreport for one or the other....

I have one tblContacts that has "Home" and "Work" address included within it,
I also have an option button 1="Work" and 2="Home". I need to prepare a
mailing report that merges with word but only for the default address. I have
to separate queries one for the default "Home" and one for "Work", I need to
unify them in to one qry.

Base the report on a Query with a calculated field:

UseAddress: IIF([Forms]![YourForm]![YourOptionGroup] = 1, [Workaddress],
[Homeaddress])

If - as you should! - the address consists of multiple fields (Address1,
Address2, City, State, Postcode) then you'll need to repeat this logic for
each field.

John,
Thank you for your reply, is it very much appreciated. I tried the
calculated query, as you suggested, but it only gave me the default 2
(HomeAddress) in the column and it did not pull the WorkAddress field.
What did you mean by If – as you should!
Below is what I put in the query. When you mean repeat this, do you mean I
need to write in the same calculated field the
“IIF([Forms]![frmContacts]![DefaultAddress] = 1, [WorkCity] and all this in
the same calculated field “MainAddress†query’s?
This is what I put in the query below.
This is the calculated field-“MainAddressâ€:
“IIF([Forms]![frmContacts]![DefaultAddress] = 1, [WorkAddress], [HomeAddress]
The fields that I am addressing, which are in the same table are:
WorkAddress, WorkCity, WorkStateOrProvince, WorkPostalCode and
HomeAddress, HomeCity, HomeStateOrProvince, HomePostalCode

Thank you!

I want to thank you for trying to help me resolve my problem. I found out a
way to solve this problem and I'm listing the code below, just in case anyone
else did not structure their database correctly.

SELECT DefaultAdd.DefaultAddress , DefaultAdd.ContactID ,
DefaultAdd.AddressType , DefaultAdd.Address , DefaultAdd.City ,
DefaultAdd.StateProvince , DefaultAdd.PostalCode ,
DefaultAdd.CountryFROM (SELECT tblContacts.DefaultAddress ,
tblContacts.ContactID , tblContacts.AddressType ,
tblContacts.WorkAddress As Address , tblContacts.WorkCity AS City
, tblContacts.WorkStateOrProvince AS StateProvince ,
tblContacts.WorkPostalCode As PostalCode , tblContacts.WorkCountry AS
Country , IIf([defaultaddress]=1,"Work","Home") AS DefaultAddressType
, "Work" AS UnionDefaultAddressType FROM tblContactsUNION ALL
SELECT tblContacts.DefaultAddress , tblContacts.ContactID ,
tblContacts.AddressType , tblContacts.HomeAddress ,
tblContacts.HomeCity , tblContacts.HomeStateOrProvince ,
tblContacts.HomePostalCode , tblContacts.HomeCountry ,
IIf([defaultaddress]=1,"Work","Home") AS DefaultAddressType , "Home" AS
UnionDefaultAddressType FROM tblContacts) AS DefaultAddWHERE
(((DefaultAdd.DefaultAddressType)="home") AND
((DefaultAdd.UnionDefaultAddressType)="home")) OR
(((DefaultAdd.DefaultAddressType)="work") AND
((DefaultAdd.UnionDefaultAddressType)="work"));
