How do I retrieve detail data in an access table for a mail merge.

I have created a mail merge with an access table as my source data. The table
however has drill down info I need to retrieve. Can this be done or should I
be addressing my need in another manner.

Mail merge can't do this on its own. There are a couple of approaches, using
fields, that might work for you. See the special merges section of my website
for a discusssion, with links to sample articles.

Be aware that you won't be able to use the "drill down". You'll have to get the
information from the related table, directly.
