John, The quick and dirty way to to this is to set the queries up in Access that you require for your mailmerge docs. Then link the docs to the queries using the mailmerge wizard, and put the fields from the query in the required locations. Then if you need to open the docs give the user a choice of which one they want and use objects to open the required word doc. As it is already linked to the query you require, al they should have to do is click the merge button Paul P.S. sorry it isn't explained to well, only I'm under a tight deadline at the moment.....if you need further info let me know......

It is my understanding that there is also a pull method where the document knows what query it needs to use to get data from Access and where to put the data in the document. Is that method easy to set up for a given document? Any online references for doing this? I need to get a handful of mail merge docs set up quickly for a customer. John W.
