Problem with data in word mail merge doc from access

[muriel]

Hi. I am trying to use the word mail merge feature to import data from my access database. I have several drop down boxes in my data entry form. When I merge the data into word, the data shows numbers instead of the actual text.

Anyone know how to fix this?
Much appreciated!

I usually get the same experience dealing with combo boxes and exporting to Word. The best thing I have found to do is to create a query with the fields you need for the mail merge. As long as all your table are linked properly(i.e. you can select one record in one table and view the data in any table) you should be fine to export the query to a Word Mail Merge.
