Office 2003: Access - Mail Merge problem

[ictoo]

Hello, ive got a access database im currently working on, i havent used access in along time(i dont rememeber coding this much stuff when i last used it) its thrown me back in to coding something ive been meaning to mess about with again. Now my problem im having problems with a mail merge.

This is what i want, On a form that displays the customers details i want there to be a button that the user will click and then be taken to a word document that will use the customers details currently selected on the form and fill in the details on the word document, i cant really find a way to do this, I think that there is some coding involved or am i looking at this the wrong way?

Any help any tips would be very much appreciated.

Hi itcoo,

Have you set up the mailmerge main document so that you can run the mailmerge without the client filter?

Also, since your query concerns Office vba, please post in the Tek-Tips vba forum (

Include in your post whatever you've already coded, indicating where you're having problems.

Finally, there have been posts on similar subjects in Tek-Tips in the past. A search should turn up some helpful pointers and code.



Cheers
