How do I merge multiple Access records into a word form letter?

[Guest]

I was wondering if there was a way to merge multiple Access records into a
Word form letter. For example, my database includes group of people who have
expiration dates for eligibility in a program, and I need to let their
program providers know about all the people who are expiring.

Take a look at Word merge features. There's one merge field that allows
multiple records to be passed in.

By the way, I do hope the information is about people whose eligibility is
expiring (and not the people)... <G>

Thanks so much. I can't wait until Monday to try it! )

And, yes, it is their eligibility expiring, not the people themselves...

Also take a look at using a Word template. It's like having a predesigned
form where you fill in the blanks with data from Access.

More great advice from steve. As others have mentioned the feature to look
at is mail merge.

Again, no advise from A#$@&% John Marshall! All he is good for is to make an
A@&*%$ of himself. He contributes nothing to the newsgroup but spews his
garbage everywhere he posts. He is an embarassmen t to what MVP stands for.
We don't need the likes of him in our newsgroup!!!
