I'm pulling data out of and Access DB for a mailmerge. I'd like to write back
to a table to indicate that the record has been processed. Is there a way to
do this?

Not using mail merge "out of the box". If you are using Word XP or later,
you should be able to do it by making use of Visual Basic Mail Merge Events.
It may however be better to perform the operation from Access. For some
ideas on that, see fellow Access MVP, Albert Kallal's website at:
