Mailmerge displays record's index number instead of the data.
If the information that you see is enclosed inside { }, then:
1. You are looking at the mailmerge main document and the display of field codes is toggled on (Alt+F9) 2. You have not executed the merge, but are just pre-viewing the results. You must execute the merge to a New Document or the Printer to see the data from each of the records. Turn on the display of the Mail Merge toolbar by selecting Toolbars from the View menu and then check the Mail Merge item. Then use the buttons on the right hand end of the toolbar to execute the merge to the desired destination. -- Hope this helps.

I have seen this before and I suspect that the only ways to get around are
likely to be a. change the way Word is connecting to Access (check Word Tools|Option|General|"Confirm conversions at open, go through the connection process again and choose DDE or ODBC. No use if you're using Unicde data. b. "it is to create a "real" query in Access with the necessary inner joins (or use old-style "WHERE maintable.lookupkey = lookuptable.lookupkey) and use that as the data source. I don't know for sure that either approach will work. Peter Jamieson "Victor Lazlo" wrote in message ...
