Needing an easy mail merge letter based on a query

[BJM]

I have a database for storing school attendance records.
We would like the most user-friendly method of creating a
mail merge letter that would allow not-so-computer-savy
teachers to open the merge file, choose certain students
that were absent without known cause, and send each one a
letter of inquiry home. We have all the student
infomation, etc. in tables in the database and even a
query to filter all students without attendance for a
given period of time. We just need a clean way to send
those records to a pre-fabricated form letter by way of a
merge operation. Ideally, that document should be
available from within the database. Is there any way we
can use a macro to put a link to it on a switchboard?

Thanks for any insight,
BJM

I guess what you are saying is I need to create a custom
report that looks like a form letter. Yes?

It's that simple? (blush)
