SPREADSHEET

THIS IS STUPID, I'M SURE, BUT I HAD WORKS 4.0 AND WAS
ABLE TO SET UP FORM LETTERS WITH AN EXISTING DATABASE.
NOW THE SPREADSHEET AND DATABASES WON'T MERGE. HOW DO I
START THIS OVER AGAIN (CREATING A FORM LETTER?) VERY
COMPUTER ILLITERATE. KS

For one thing, please turn off the CAPS LOCK key. It's hard to read
and looks like YOU ARE SHOUTING AT US.

Secondly, you may want to post in a different newsgroup. Are you
trying to create a form letter in Works? in Microsoft Word? In the
database program Microsoft Access (the subject of this newsgroup)? If
you're assuming that Access is just another version of Works, you'll
be in for a shock: it's a *completely* different program. Unlike
Works, it does *not* incorporate spreadsheets or wordprocessing
features; instead, Access applications use Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) code to link to Excel and Word for these features.
