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.

The particular field of concern is Memo data type. What is strange is that some of the ones that are cut off are actually shorter than some that export correctly. In addition, there is another field occasionally cut off, which compiles three different text fields.

Access 2007 reserved words and symbols
"Reserved words" are words and symbols that have a specific meaning to Microsoft Office Access 2007 or to the Access database engine. If you use a reserved word or symbol to name a field in a table, Access warns you that the word is reserved and that you might encounter errors when referring to the field. You might also encounter errors if you use a reserved word to name a control, an object, or a variable. The error messages you receive don't necessarily tell you that a reserved word is the cause of the problem. As a result, it can be difficult to identify what needs to be changed.

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?

Working with Attachment data type in Microsoft Access 2007
Attachment data type is new in Access 2007. Using an example, this detailed tutorial shows how you may work with this data type effectively. n MS Access 2007 Microsoft has introduced a new data type called attachments. Many types of files can be stored in a column which has the attachment data type. Someone can add bitmap files, jpg files, sound files, word documents, etc. to a column without increasing the size of the database. However, these objects will be run by the appropriate executable programs for these attachments when they are called to do so. This goes even further such that you can attach multiple, different types of attachments to the same record. This allows for the storage of the information about an employee including his picture, his resume, and any other necessary information all in one column. The Access project which is now supported again in Access 2007 does not support the attachment data type since the underlying database does not. This comprehensive tutorial shows an example of creating a table with a column which has the new data type, attachments. It also shows how you may populate the table and view the contents of the table. It goes further and shows you how to create a report based on this table and how the report can be viewed effectively to display or render its contents.

Operators and Operands
Microsoft Access and Microsoft Visual Basic are not case-sensitive. Therefore, any word we are going to use that involves a field, its name, and new words we will introduce in this section, whether written in uppercase, lowercase or a mix, as long as it is the same word, represents the same thing. Based on this, the words TRUE, True and true, as related to Microsoft Access, represent the same word. In the same way, if the words NULL, Null, and null are used in an expression, they represent the same thing.
