[AccessD] db reports or mail merge?

Hi Mark,

In my opinion you should stick with the letters which are already there and
use a mailmerge. It's easier to maintain by others that just the programmer
and in Word you have far more letter options than in an Access report.


Good luck:)

Subject: [AccessD] db reports or mail merge?

Hello All,

I have a scenario where I get a feed of data...from theis letter I print 
letters and postcards.  I have the logic that tells what phone numbers/text 
needs to change for each letter type.  All of the letters were formatted in 
word.  I was planning on recreating the word docs as reports in a db.

Is this the best approach...or is there a better approach using 'mail merge'

or something like that?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte

P.S...With either approach...the end product will just be a button that 
prints all reports and postcards.
