Is there a way to use fields from more than one table in a Word mail merge? I
have a table that shows information from related tables (such as names from a Contacts table), but when I merge into a Word document, it brings in the related table's record id, rather than the displayed information. For example, it brings in the ContactID, rather than the contact's Fullname. |

Create a select query in Access that links the tables together by the
relevant fields and displays the required data. Then use that query as the data source. -- Hope this helps.
