[mso] Re: mail merge from access

Thanks for the info.  My problem is the db I am working off of has 286,000
records.  How do I get all the unit names tied to the one James Jones entry.
All I know to do is cut and paste and with this many records that would not
be feasible.  Anything else that you can suggest?

Thanks tw

Terri,

I'd probably use a temp table so that you only have one James Jones record
and group all of his data into that one record.  Then do the merge off of
the temp table data.

I am experienced with Access, but have a problem that I can not solve.  I
have used various resources such as Access 2003 for dummies.  
I am working with a query that has multiple entries for one name.  i.e.
James Jones.  I want to send one doc to James Jones put I need data pulled
from each entry for James Jones.  That data is all in one column i.e. "unit
name".  Does anyone know how to do this?
 
Thank you, 
 
Terri
