Well, I've been doing this stuff for about 30 years now. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect and admiration for teachers, especially in public schools. However, many of them don't have a lot of practical, real-world experience.
Wonderful work, very clear instructions, very easy to understand & follow. Very well done & thanks for creating such a wonderful resource for home learning
dude... i failed 12th grade, im re-doing computer application technology, i must say your videos are really getting me through this year, i thought i lost all hope for a second, thank you!!
Don't lose hope. I failed 12th grade too. I was in Honors English and my teacher was a major ass. So here I was, 17 years old, in summer school, with a baby on the way too!
I would like to use this feature in a different way. I have a set of records in the Excel sheet file, and each record carries a number, date and other information, and I would like to create a Word document with the record number and date only. Can I do this or is there another way, even if it is using a VB Code.
I like your training courses because you made them easy to understand. Thank you. I paid for your microsoft access level 2 tutorial but cannot download it please help. God bless. Cordelia UK

Thank you for making this video Rich! I know it was a long time ago. Would you consider doing an updated version for doing mail merge through code? That's something that's getting on my nerves right now.
Yes. You can export a table directly to a Word RTF file which will appear as a table in your document. I cover this in my Access Expert 19 class: 599cd.com/XAC13X19
When I do this, I get a message that says "ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed. Could not find file C:\Users\dhudson\Desktop.mdb." What is causing this to happen?
Hey Rick, thanks, love the tutorials. I am having a problem in my access for mail merge - when going to the External Data tab the Word Merge is not accessible. What is the issue here, do you know?
This is really helpful! But I have a question, I am creating a databse system for a client, ( this is for academic coursework) I need to know how to create an easy to use interface for the client who wants to be able to send premade mail merge emails to individual customers on access. 1) please can you explain to me how to do this? 2) Can you some how send the email to the recipiant without having to externally go onto outlook or online email systems to send it. So the my client will not have to go out of access to do so please? Thankyou so much in advance! :D really need help!
I keep getting an error that says "the database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'XXX' that prevents it from being opened or locked. It's a database with a sharepoint backend
Thank you Rick for the tutorial.. very good and explicit. However; I do have an interrogative.. From a list I want to be able to print the number of items multiply for the qty amount.. i some cases may be 4 or 5.. in others just one label..
hi, this is a really helpful function. But i have a problem, when i click word merge function the next message appears: "The mail merge wizard cannot continue because the database is in exclusive mode. Close and reopen the database to run this wizard".... and thats all I cant run it! Help me please!
Hi Robert, Many ail merges won't work correctly (which is my job) because I get a lot of files where data not in the right fields. I have used queries to move data into the correct fields, HOWEVER, it's very time consuming, as the key words I use to target that information is not consistent. I have to convert improper data into proper first. I have no control on the data entry end. Only after the fact. I know how to target key words and fix them safely, but haven't been able to target more than one key word in the same field and standardize them all at once. The quantity of words or partial words is easiliy 250 in one category and another 150 in a different category. I do have these typed up in excel, and have tried building various SQL commands around them to be used in ACCES, but none working beyond one word at a time.
See it this helps: 599cd.com/AutoText I'm very sorry for taking so long to reply to your comment. I wasn't very good at keeping up with the comments 4 years ago, but I've been trying to make an effort to get back to everyone.

How'd you do?
@@599CD how should i know haha it was 3 years ago
Can I transfer data in access to word as table
Sure. I recommend exporting to Excel first. Make it pretty, then copy that to Word.
@@599CD just from access to word without excel. I need that .just in one step I get datas 😊
Yes. You can export a table directly to a Word RTF file which will appear as a table in your document. I cover this in my Access Expert 19 class: 599cd.com/XAC13X19
Thank you, this was really helpful
Welcome
Thank you Sir. But how about the image mail merge?
That's a whole different lesson.
When I do this, I get a message that says "ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed. Could not find file C:\Users\dhudson\Desktop.mdb." What is causing this to happen?
Well it sounds like it can't find that file
Hey Rick, thanks, love the tutorials. I am having a problem in my access for mail merge - when going to the External Data tab the Word Merge is not accessible. What is the issue here, do you know?
I'd need to know more about what's happening.
Wow!! really clear many thanks!!!

You lost me at "academic coursework." I haven't done homework since 1989.
I keep getting an error that says "the database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'XXX' that prevents it from being opened or locked. It's a database with a sharepoint backend
Probably a permissions error.
Thank you Rick for the tutorial.. very good and explicit. However; I do have an interrogative.. From a list I want to be able to print the number of items multiply for the qty amount.. i some cases may be 4 or 5.. in others just one label..
I cover that in 599cd.com/MailingLabel
thanks , what if I have an Image in my data ?
Good Question. I think I will use reports for mail merge. Why not?
Don't store images in your tables

But i have a problem, when i click word merge function the next message appears: "The mail merge wizard cannot continue because the database is in exclusive mode.
