RE: mail merge in access

Hi Kelly, thank you for the post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question on performing a mail merge in Access, consider first the data and ensure that your table or query is going to provide the correct information, if you are comfortable and wish to use the table/query proceed as follows.
In Microsoft Word create your letter/document which you wish to send to multiple addressees, invoke the Mail Merge wizard, following the steps in the wizard to undertake a mail merge; when you come to the point to insert the database, navigate to your Access database and select the table/query you wish to use, insert the fields as required and Word will extract the data. I hope that helps, best regards Pete.

Access tip:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub


3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
