MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004can word be set up to do something similar to a report with linked subreport?
can word be set up to do something similar to a report with linked sub report? I have two access tables people and houses. the people table has a house id. Both table are linked in data entry forms! I wish I mail merge a letter to each house and list the names of people that live there. In a report you would do this with a linked subreport! can you do something similar with word? Andrew Hi Andrew, Why not do it all in Access. I have a similar application where I have a building with a security access card system. Using an Access Report with the first part of a letter including the address details of the tenant in a group header, the numbers of the access cards that give access to their tenancy in the details section of the report and the closing of the letter in a group header, I create letters to each tenant advising them of the cards that have access to their tenancy.
