Default I don't know what to do!!

We cannot figure out how you assign properties to each "guest".
Perhaps it is done manually each time.

If we may guess, the workflow should be:
read SEPT.TXT with Excel in sheet1;
read Property Address.txt in sheet2;
in a new column in sheet1, key in property id;
use vlookup to pull in property specifies from sheet2;
export relevant fields in text file to Final Result.txt format.

We believe your service provider can automate this with minimum effort.

I have attached three documents.

Sept = Test month (this comes from our reservation system)
Property addresses = Table where prop information is stored
Final Result = What I need the finished product to look like so I can
merge it to our envelope file in word


Thanks for all your help!

I have been working for good number of days on this "project" and
still
can't figure it out.
I work for a property management company and we print check in
enevelopes for our arriving guests. A prior employee had a convoluted
way of performing this using about four different programs... no one
in
IT can figure it out. I think there is a way to just use excel but my
IT
dept has given up on us.

Basically, I have a list of properties with their addresses and phone
numbers and other property specifics. Each property is assigned a row
in this table.

Bi-weekly, I would import the guest information to excel. Each guest
is
assigned a row in this table.

This is where it is getting tricky for me.

Here's what I would like the result to be:

I would like one field (property code) in the arriving guests table
to
trigger an auto fill of the next 5 or so boxes in that row with
information from the property information table.

I can then easily plug that table into a mail merge file to create
our
check in envelopes in word. (I know how to do this part already.)

I have tried a number of methods to no avail. Can someone please
help?
I would like to keep this in excel if possibe but I have also
experimented with Access. Since I am the only one in the office with
Access on my computer, that will make it tougher for the rest of the
employees here.

Thanks in advance for your help!
