I am using the old windows (98). I am useing some yes/no
options in Access (letter 1: Y; L2: N; L3: Y). Now I want
to print the addresses of all clients who selected yes for
letter 1. I can not figure out how to filter the no's
from the yes's.
The version of Windows isn't as much help as the version of
WORD would be. There are some five or six versions of word
that could run under Windows 98...
This isn't sorting, this is FILTERING. And in order to
filter, you need to query the data. If you're familiar with
making queries in Access, then it's easiest for me to say:
set up a query in Access that lists only what you want and
link the mail merge to that.
The other way is to go into Query Options in Word. But if you
need help on how to do that, you need to tell us
- the version of Word and of Access
- whether these are Access checkboxes, or have you actually
typed Y and N into Access
