Mail Merge Question

N

Nick Pedder

Within the context of a recruitment database, I am trying to place a button on a form which will automatically mail merge any job application requests recieved on a certain date to a form letter in Word. These application requests are held in tblmailmergequery, which contains standard contact details for potential applicants.

I am trying to achieve this by using the 'transfer text' macro and 'Export Word for Windows Merge' , but cannot seem to get it working - I get an error message saying 'cannot update database or object is read-only.' I've looked at the help file and understand that perhaps I need to create a 'schema.ini' file. Being new to access, I have no idea what this means.

I would greatly appreciate any help (before I tear out my hair ! )
