    Mail Merge

    Hi
    I am relatively new to Access.

    I have a contact form and want to create a command button to:

    1. refer to current record
    2. Open a MS Word Mail merge document


    3. Auto populate data in to document

    Also when the word document is saved can it be visible and opened from within the databse so that the user can open the document without having to navigate to the folder in which it is stored?

    Please can any one help?

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks, that is great.

    Any ideas as to whether its possible to save, see and open the subsequent mail merge documents form within access.
