How do I mail merge a letter with Access

RE: Access

Hi Brian

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

You can create a mail merge in Word using an Access table or query as the data source.

In Word go to Tools - Letters and Mailings - Mail Merge wizard.

Select Letters at Step 1, click Next.

Select Use the Current Document at Step 2, click Next.

Select Use an Existing List at Step 3, then click the Browse link to locate and select your Access database. You will then be able to select the table or query that contains the data you wish to include in the mail merge.

Continue through the remaining steps to create, then save and/or print your letters.

I hope this helps.
Amanda
