Right, let's deal with the easy question first. You put the calculation
in the field definition of a query. This probably isn't the forum for
Queries 101, but there's plenty of basic guidance on the web. If you're
looking to use this as the basis of a mailmerge, I think I'd probably
use a maketable query. Again, the web has plenty of info on how to do
this.
As for making your various options, you'd need a set of other fields to
track this, each of which could have a different formula; they'd all be
a variation on the one I gave you last time, but replacing the 1.5 with
- say - 1.2, 1.7, 2 and so on.

Thanks Ray. if the last donation was $25-$50, then the suggested
donation
in the letter is $60 and the check boxes on the reply piece would be
$40,
$50, $60 and $75, say. Then if the last donation was $50 to 100, then
the
suggested donation in the letter is $125 and the suggested boxes are
$75,
$100, $125, $150. As I'm using actual numbers and not a, b, c's then I
realize I don't like this so much.
But, Ray, Mr. Excel man. I'm scared of the Queries. That sounds like a
great formula you gave me, but where do I put it? I haven't openned
Acces
in a few weeks.
