collect data from DBF / XLS file for Mail Merge

[BS10]

Hi,

my company uses a database to store client information such as client
names, addresses, phone no's etc. Each client has a unique client code.
I would like to pull data from the database into Word. For example when
typing a letter to a client, I would like to simply type in the client
code and have Word pull the Client Name & Address from either a dbf /
xls file.
Is this possible?

(Word 2000, Excel 2000)

Thanks,
