    Is Accel the right choice?

    Hi,

    I am not sure, if MS Access is the right choice for my project. My Boss told me, that she would like to have an data base from our mailing lists. These mailing lists are in MS Excel and I tought, it would be easy to import the lists into Access. It would be great, if we could do Serial letters and adress sticker for mail/cover. Another think that we need, are filters... I have to think more about the filters. Can not descripe it jet or rather I do not really know what we need? One big Thing, that we need, is three categories. One anual report, a small paper and a special date to assign to a person/company for example. We have got a mailing list for the anual report, one for the small paper and one for the special date for better understanding.

    What I need:
    - Import mailing lists form Excel to Access


    - Serial letters
    - Sticker for mail/letters/cover
    - Filter
    - Assign categories to persons/companies

    Sorry, for my poor english. I hope, that you can anwser some of my questions, if it is possible and how? The last time I did something with Access is ten years ago. If it will take to long, we would hire a developer or something, I guess.

    Yes,use Access. With a click of a button,Access can send the letter to everyone In a list.
    you can make different letters.
    you can show details on a client, history of a client.

    why wouldn't you?
    you can do a lot w just macros and using the wizard.
