Queries and Mail Merge
Hey,
For my database (Access 2007) I have a query that shows the results in a form. Is there a way to send the query results to Word? I have tried messing around with Mail Merge but I have not been able to have any success. The reason I need to send results to Word (instead of using a report in Access) is that I have a template that the end users can copy and paste into their reports. They also need to be able to change formatting on the template (color, cell size, etc...). NOTE: There are pictures that need to be sent to the template as well (this is where I ran into trouble). Thanks And please be descriptive |

Well I tried the steps and it does not work. By this I mean none of the
buttons work.

I assume that you downloaded the file from Albert's site and that you were
successful in importing the necessary opjects as outlined by Albert's documentation. If you did all the things as he lays out for you to do, then place the correct code on the Click event of your button, it should work. Try to post specific issues and perhaps someone will be able to answer your questions. -- HTH Mr B askdoctoraccess dot com "TheCaptain" wrote: Well I tried the steps and it does not work.
