Mail Merge Error

[Kerry]

Hi,

I am merging over 30,000 records to create letters for my
clients. The records are stored in access 2000 and
document in word 2000. I have added the data source,
added the mail merge fields but when i merge to a new doc
it tells me that

"Word could not merge the main document with the data
source because the data records were empty or no data
records matched your query options"

The table in acess is fine and no query options have been
set!!

Also, how do i enter a field value as a true or false
statement rather than text in an IF within my mail merge
doc.

Thanks very much indeed.

Kerry.

Can you describe the exact steps you used to "add the data
source", please?

Also, how do i enter a field value as a true or false
statement rather than text in an IF within my mail merge
doc.

I don't understand the question; could you try restating it?
