    All family members with one address

    I have two tables. One holds the Family Generic information. Last Name, Address, Home Phone..... The second table holds each individual family member with mobile numbers and emails. I want to make a table from these that will have the family last name, then each member with mobile # and email and then the family address and home phone.

    You don't want a table - build a query that joins the two tables. Build a report that uses that query as RecordSource.

    I am sorry I guess I should have given more information. I then want to use this table as a mail merge. So a report won't do it for me.

    Use the query for the mail merge. However, if you want all the family members for one family to show like a table in Word document, a normal mail merge cannot do that. Requires code to build a table in the Word document.

    Alternative to merge could be export to Word RTF.

    Yes, that's how query works. An Access report can be set up using Sorting & Grouping features so that the last name and address info display only once.

    Export the Access report to Word RTF or to PDF. Otherwise, complicated code to build table of family members in Word.
