Thank you, Graham.
But what I have done, just seconds before getting your reply is;
I am opening the database file from My Data Sources in Access,
then going to Forms,
Create Forms by Using Wizard,
Selecting all my fields,
Naming the file
Saving it to my desktop for later--later consisting of placing all the new
data files on my external drive.
Nightmare.
Speaking of external drives (the reason I put the files on my desktop is
coming up)... If my external drive E: is connected to the PC, I cannot run
successfully (the reason I detached it) my printer.
The reason I got the drive was to place all my music on there for my iPod
which I later come to find is also E:. In addition to that--the external
drive doesn't have all the music or sound cards I need to run iTunes so with
10,000 songs and over 80GB f music, I now have to SOMEHOW delete enough music
(doubles etc) to fit ALL the MUSIC back on my PC (only 80GB) and fit it onto
my 60GB iPod.
You know, Graham.
Nothing is ever easy.
I will check out that link and try to save myself some time in the future.
Currently, I think I can remember how to create the Access databases that
will stay on my desktop until I can plug my external drive back up, after
printing all my database lists.
Nad once it's done... Yea!
Very anti-climatic.
Thank you, Graham.
Smile on~

Hello:
I would like to view all of my clients names and addresses in a list
that I can then print.
I have created a mail merge .doc or simply, labels for envelopes,
that I then proceed to print on envelopes.
I would like to see all of them in a list I can also print:
Name Address City State Zip
I cannot export it to Excel (that I am aware of).
I cannot import it from Excel (ditto).
I have multiple mail merge doc's and I do not want doubles.
I also want to be able to find my entries when they come back in the
mail informing me that the home owner has moved (nightmare).
My friend said, "If a document is already merged, you will need to
see the "data file" which you can access by opening up the merged doc
in Word, go to Tools, and merge. There you will be able to locate
the data file which will either be a table in Word or a table in
Excel."
I could not locate what he was typing about?
Please help me.
Shine on~
