Access-Word Mailmerge Checkbox
I have problem when I want to update a db from Access 2000 to
2003. I use Mailmerge to print out records in Word. Everything is ok except the Checkboxes. I use 'if then else' in Insert/Field command and get this command {If {mergefield CheckBox1}= "-1" "marked box" "unmarked box"}. In Access/Word 2000 I get the result I want but in Access/Word 2003 I get no marked boxes, why ? What to do ? |

Access-Word Mailmerge Checkbox
It's because Word 2000 and Word 2003 use different connection methods (by
default) to get data from Access, and the two methods return "Yes/No" values in different ways. In Word 2003, try { IF { MERGEFIELD Checkbox1 } = "True" "marked box" "unmarked box" } Peter Jamieson "Janne" wrote in message ... I have problem when I want to update a db from Access 2000 to 2003.
