word adding additional text merging e-mail address from access
You were looking at the list of fields in the table design? Not just the
field properties in a form? Just checking... Peter Jamieson "Andrew R" wrote in message ... Thanks for your reply. I have checked the Access database field properties for the e-mail address and it is not marked as a hyperlink. The e-mail address displays OK in Access, it is only when it is imported into Word (or Excel) that the #http//address)# gets added after the address. Andrew R "Peter Jamieson" wrote: It sounds as if your e-mail address is stored in an Access hyperlink field. If so, a. does it need to be? Can you change it to be a text field? Or add a text field that just contains the address? b. you can always create a queryin Access to strip off everything after the "#" Peter Jamieson "Andrew R" Andrew wrote in message ... I am trying to mailmerge a Word document with data from an Access database. All imports OK except e-mail (and web) addresses. I get the actual e-mail address from the database but Word (and Excel) also adds on the email address within # marks with http:// prefixing it (ie #a href="http://n...pany.co.uk/a#). When it comes to send the merged document it will not send as Outlook does not recognise the e-mail address. How do I remove the # marks and the address between them? |
