You say future release, how much in the future, as we have now spent out on
23 copies of office 2007SBE to use BCM as a replacment for ACT! to find we
are going backwards in technoligy and not forwards.... it just wont do this
simple thing.... is there another way that we can achive what we want to do
now. automation through asp, xml or something?
I even tried to connect to the sql database table directly in word to add
the fields, but no data is displayed even though it shows the fields.
(UserField1->40)
I can connect to the sql tables through Access and it displays the data, but
this is very long winded to do a simple task of creating a mail merge letter.
and just to repeat what it is we want to do...
create a mail merge letter including a few of the user-defiend fields we
have created.
