How do you mail merge with Access

RE: Access - Mail Merge

Dear Orla

Thank you for attending Access Introduction course. I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

It is quite straight forward to do mail merge from Access. I am hoping that you are familiar with mail merge in MS Word.


Please follow these steps:

Open the table that contains the data to be merged. (If the fields are coming from various tabels then best thing is to creae a query and then follow the below mentioned steps.)

Choose Tools > Office Links > Merge it with MS Word

Microsoft Mail Merge wizard will ask you if you already have a letter that you want to merge or do you want to create a new document.

Choose the relevant option and MS Word will open with the Mail merge activated.

It would have added the Access Table/Query as the data source for you.

Just place the fileds in their relevant places and compltee the mail merge as you normally would in MS Word.

I hope this helps. If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!


Kindest Regards

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.
