merge word document through access

[Guest]

I have about 20 people that I need to print and send two separate information
sheets. I need to send each person a specific document. I created a table
with their information and changed two of the fields to OLE object fields.
Each of those fields is now linked to the specific documents I need to print.

The problem is when I mail merge the document all that shows is some numbers
instead of the documents I have selected for each person. I do not understand
programming language.

Thanks for your help.

Without using some programming language, specifically Visual Basic for
Applications, it seems unlikely to me that you can accomplish what you
want -- unless you do each step manually, or automate some steps with
macros.

I am not even certain how you would do what you have _already done_ without
that, unless you were trying to do every step manually.

What type of "documents" do you have? Microsoft Word? Something other?

Where does the information come from that you are trying to merge into those
documents? How do you select which data goes to which person?

Explain, in some detail, what it is that you really want to do (are trying
to accomplish).

And, when, as here, you need to explain what you have done that didn't work,
you'll need to include details for that, too.
