Mail Merge
Good Afternoon,
Is there a way to force MS Word to place the field name from an Access database instead of the data? I have a database with 'yes/no' fields but what I need for the mail merge is the field name. Thank you. Cookie |

Mail Merge
Just type the field name.
I guess however that what you really meant to ask is "How do I get mailmerge to display "Yes" or "No" instead of -1 or 0?" To do that, the best thing to do really is use a Query in Access with an IIF field construction that returns "Yes" if the value of the field that is being checked is -1 and returns "No" if it is not -1 If can also be done with an { IF } field construction in Word, but I would do the manipulation in the data source. -- Hope this helps.
