Default mail merge with a link

I don't know. You post appears as a response to mine. Not to one from
Benmat that I do not see.

So, you are saying that I can't really do this with email. Benmat was
asking
the same question I was. I thought from his reply that it had worked.

Thanks for your help.

Read the first paragraph of the article again.

Or,

See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
website
at:

and then

"Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

I read the article at the link below. I don't see how it applies to
email
merges. Merging to a new document is not an option with email, is it?
Did
you figure out how to make this work?

Thanks.

I am trying to merge to email. I want to put a link in the email that
takes
the recipient to a web page. The link includes a parameter of the
recipient's
Id number so the web page knows who they are. When I include the
link
field
in the word document and it sends the mail through Outlook the link
shows
as
plain text, not a hyperlink. If I remove the parameters it shows
properly
as
a hyperlink. I would also like the link to show as a button or
simply
click
here. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
I am using Word 2003 Access 2002 on Windows XP

Thank you!

Ben
