Hi all.

Is Word a good choice for creating a report and emailing
the report?

What I would like to do is create a report based on an
Access Query that shows a each line item on each invoice
for each customer over a given time period and then
automatically email that report to the customer.

Is this possible to do in Word?  Is it easy?  Should I be
using Access instead?

I don't know if it possible to have grouping in a Word
Mail Merge.  Each record would include customer info,
payment info, the invoice number and date and the Invoice
line item info.  So there would be a record for each
Invoice Line Item.  

I would like the report to group invoices by customer and
group line items by invoice number.  As far as I know this
isn't possible in Word, but a friend told me that perhaps
it is.

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to do something very similar, but have had
little success to this point. The source I'm using that
explains how this can be done is:

Hmmm.  Interesting... The lack of formating is quite
disappointing, but it could work.  I wonder if there is
any way to get these invoices to be automatically
emailed.  There must be...

I'll give it a shot later today and get back to you if I
could get it to work.

Yeah you can programmatically e-mail them. You can use
Word VBA to do this:

ActiveDocument.HasRoutingSlip = True

With ActiveDocument

   With .RoutingSlip
       .Subject = "Matter Change Form"
       .AddRecipient "ELITECHANGE"
       .Delivery = wdAllAtOnce
       .Message = "Attached is a Matter Change Form."
       .ReturnWhenDone = False
       .TrackStatus = False
       
   End With
   
   .Route
   
End With

The Recipient could be read from a database certainly.
