Access to Word - ID/Name
I am using an access database to populate fields in a Word document. In the
query in Access I have used a combo box for SupplierID/SupplierName. When the query is run in Access it shows the SupplierName, which is what it is supposed to do, but when I mailmerge into Word it shows the SupplierID, which is just a number and not the name as intended. I have read the other entries regarding switches, mailmerge from Access to Word, but I can't find anything that addresses this issue. Can anyone help? -- S |

Access to Word - ID/Name
While I know that you can use a combo box in a query, I have never had, nor
can I think of when I would want to do that. I do not think that it would be appropriate to use such a query as a datasource for mail merge. Tell us how it is supposed to be used. -- Hope this helps.
