Everything is working ok with this.. created a querry in access.. went through the steps in word to do the mail merge... just one problem.. boss wants it to be sorted by zip codes.. I tried doing a filter sort before merging the two documents, but it will not let me get to it. The option is shaded grey. I have it sorted by zip in the access file, but Word is auto sorting it by first name instead.. what to do?

Thanks,
Douglas
 
I think you need to change your query to produce zip code as the first field. Have a feeling Mail merge sorts by fields in list order.
 
That was absolutely it! Sweet!
