Merge Field and Query
Hi Victor,
Question remains "how" to change the field properties in the query to populate the word field with the data and not the id information. You need to redesign the query in Access. Look at the table that provides both the ID and the related text information. DRAG the field with the text information down into the query grid. Save and close the query. In Word, open the mail merge document. Check the list of fields to see if the field you just dragged into the query appears. If it does not, then you need to repeat the steps to link the document to the data source. Now you can insert this field into the main merge document (and delete the ID field).
