MS-Access and Mail Merge
When we talk about Address Labels, Form Letters, Mail Merge and so on, the name that comes into our mind is MS-Word, loaded with plenty of functions for the above tasks. It needs a database to provide source data for address labels, Form Letters etc. We can prepare a Table in Word Document and use it for Addresses or attach one from Microsoft Access or other database sources. Here, we are not going to use MS-Word for Address Labels, Form Letters and Mail Merge operations, we will do it in MS-Access. Yes, we will try Mail Merge too.

Access 2002, How to disable mousewheel
Is there an easy way to disable the mousewheel, or change its functionality, within Access 2002 forms? I hate the way it scrolls through records, since most people are naturally inclined to use the wheel to scroll further down a document of form as they would in Word or Excel and are surprised that it behaves differently in Access. I have tried Mousehook.dll and it works, but I have to distribute an Access database to multiple users on multiple systems, and I don't want to distribute a dll and extra instructions with it--it needs to be as user-friendly and compact as possible. Is there any VBA code that will either disable its functionality or change it to a scroll-through procedure on a form?
Import an Access 95 database into an Access 2007 file
If you use an existing database in the Access 95 format (.mdb), you can import tables, queries, and macros from that database into a Microsoft Office Access 2007 database (.accdb). You can also import forms and reports that do not employ Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code. To import forms and reports that contain VBA code (and also modules), first convert your Access 95 database to the Access 2002 - 2003 or Access 2000 file format by using Microsoft Office Access 2003, Access 2002, or Access 2000, and then use Access 2007 to convert that file to the Access 2007 file format. What do you want to do? * Import data from an Access 95 database * Convert an Access 95 database by using Access 2003, Access 2002, or Access 2000

ADO and DAO Library References in Access Databases
Access 2000 and 2002 do not include a reference, by default, to the DAO 3.6 Object Library. Instead, Microsoft has included the ADO 2.1 Object Library as the default library for data access in Access 2000 and 2002. This means that if you create a new database in Access 2000 or 2002 and then use VBA code which includes the commonly used Database object, the code will fail. The Database object is not the only object where this problem is likely to occur. TableDef, QueryDef, Workspace, User, Group, and Container objects, as well as their Collection objects, are also commonly used in VBA code to customize database applications. However, without a reference set to the DAO object library, any code that uses these objects will also fail. Microsoft finally listened to the screams of its customers on this issue, so the DAO library is returned to being a default checked reference in new databases created with Access 2003. By default, the DAO reference has a higher priority than the ADO library in Access 2003.

Mail Merging Microsoft Access Data with a Word Document
We can use Microsoft Access data as the data source for a Microsoft Word Mail Merge document. The Access data can be used in exactly the way needed to create a personalised letter in Word. Often your database is going to be storing specific types of information; many times this information is going to be related to personal data such as names, addresses and other contact type information. If, for example, your personnel department were wanting to mail out information to each employee, they could print out information showing the employees names and addresses, and then re-key this information into a Microsoft Word document with the text of the letter.

Change the default file format
When you create a new, blank database in Microsoft Office Access 2007, you are prompted to provide a name for the database file. By default, the file is given the ".accdb" extension - it is created in the Office Access 2007 format and is not readable by earlier versions of Access. In some cases, you may prefer to create files in an earlier Access format. In Office Access 2007, you have the option of creating files in either the Access 2000 format or the Access 2002-2003 format (both with the extension ".mdb"). Then, when you create a new database file, the resulting file is created in the earlier Access format and can be shared with others who use that version of Access. This can be helpful if you have upgraded to Office Access 2007 but you share files with others who have not.

You can convert a database that was created by using Microsoft Office Access 2003, Access 2002, Access 2000, or Access 97 to the new Microsoft Office Access 2007 file format. You should use the new file format whenever possible because it supports new features, such as multivalued fields and attachments. However, a database in the new Access 2007 file format (.accdb) cannot be opened or linked to with earlier versions of Access, and the new format no longer supports replication or user-level security. If you need to use your Access 2007 database with earlier versions of Access, or if you need to use replication or user-level security, you must use a file format from an earlier version.

Access to Word mailmerge, record IDs appearing instead of record labels
I have 2 tables in an MS Access database. One table (table01) contains a list of items while the other table (table02) contains other data with 1-6 of these items (from table01) associated with them. There is a relationship between these two tables. In Access, regardless of the form, report or query, everything is OK. However, when I use MS Word to do a mailmerge, everything is OK except the items from table01 appear as the ID numbers instead of the contents of the fields. Any suggestions on how to have the contents of the fields appear instead of the ID numbers?
