Selecting records to print in a mail merge

[Curtismk]

I have a mail merge that creates envelopes. The mail merge is used each week, but I don't need to print all of the envelopes each week. Is there a way to select the records to merge then print without using record numbers? I would love to be able to create a list of the records, then click a box to the left of each name, and have all checked records merge and print

Is this possible

Thanks

If you are using Word XP or later, activate the Mail Merge toolbar via
View>Toolbars and then use the Mail Merge Recipients button and you will see
boxes just for this purpose.

Otherwise, add another field to your datasource into which you insert
something that you can use to filter the data.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
