Recipients filter word 2007
I have a database in Access 2007 which I merge into Word 2007 documents to
create reports, mailings, etc. In these reports, mailings, etc., I normally have more than one criteria for choosing which records I want. A few months ago I ran some of the reports, merged the Word doc with the Access database, edited my recipients list using filters, and ran the reports. Worked FANTASTICALLY! Yesterday and today I attempted to run some of those same reports but come up with different results. When I go back into the Word document, my filters have changed if I originally had more than one filter criteria!! I change the filter back to the criteria I need, run the report again, and I get the same inaccurate results, go back to the Edit Recipients List and find that Word put more bogus filters in! Does anyone know if something happened via, say an Office 2007 update or something, within the last couple months that would have caused the filter part of merging to go awry? |

Recipients filter word 2007
I would do the filtering by using a Query in Access. Data manipulation is
done far better with a data base than a word processor. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
