    Lightbulb Mail Merge Capibilites

    Hi guys!



    I'm working on a Word mail merge feature that links to an Access Database and would like to know if you can insert specific fields into the mail merge to refine the terms? example below:

    <<Customer Name, [field 2]>> - Or something to that effect.

    ^The mail merge would know where to obtain the customer name from anyway, but will it select information from the field that is being referenced?

    I know this is completely hit and miss but it would be epic!

    Cheers,

    P

    Think that field would need its own 'link' or tags or whatever they are called.
    <<Customer Name>> <<field 2>>

    Yes, you can learn how to create this effect. The specifics will be driven by what you already have working and how.
