Default mail merge excel from access data

Hi.

Refer to "About exchanging data between Excel and Access" in the Microsoft
Excel on-line help. The following information explains the procedu

Working with Microsoft Access data in Microsoft Excel

Copy Access records to Excel

From Access, you can copy data from any datasheet view or data access page
control and then paste the data into Excel. Use this method when you want a
static snapshot of a few selected Access records.

You can also save the data from an Access table (table: A collection of data
about a particular subject that is stored in records (rows) and fields
(columns).), query (query: In Query or Access, a means of finding the records
that answer a particular question you ask about the data stored in a
database.), form, or report to an Excel workbook. Use this method to make a
static copy of large amounts of Access data.

Note Use these methods when you don't need to refresh (refresh: To update
data from an external data source. Each time you refresh data, you see the
most recent version of the information in the database, including any changes
that were made to the data.) the data in Excel every time the Access database
changes.

Bring refreshable Access data into Excel

If you want to refresh the data in the worksheet when the Access database
changes €” for example, to update an Excel summary that you distribute every
month so that it contains the current month's data €” you can create either a
query or an Office Data Connection file to bring the data into Excel. Create
a query if you need to retrieve data from more than one table, or think you
might need to change the scope of the retrieved data. Use an Office Data
Connection file if you want data from only one table in the database and you
want to retrieve all of the data in the table. You can return the data to
Excel as an external data range (external data range: A range of data that is
brought into a worksheet but that originates outside of Excel, such as in a
database or text file. In Excel, you can format the data or use it in
calculations as you would any other data.) or a PivotTable report (PivotTable
report: An interactive, crosstabulated Excel report that summarizes and
analyzes data, such as database records, from various sources, including ones
that are external to Excel.), both of which can be refreshed.

Using Access to manage Excel data

Link Excel data into an Access database You can link an Excel range into
an Access database as a table (table: A collection of data about a particular
subject that is stored in records (rows) and fields (columns).). Use this
approach when you plan to continue maintaining the range in Excel but also
want it to be available from within Access. You can view data in the linked
Excel range from within the Access database. You create this type of link
from within the Access database, not from Excel. For more information, see
Access Help.

Import Excel data into an Access database If you're working in Access and
want to copy data from an Excel workbook into your database, you can import
the data into Access. Use this method to bring a copy of a small amount of
data that you intend to continue maintaining in Excel into an existing Access
database, without having to retype the data.

Convert an Excel range to an Access database If you have a large Excel
range that you want to move permanently to an Access database, in order to
take advantage of the Access data management capabilities, security, or
multiuser capabilities, you can convert the data from Excel to an Access
database. Use this method when you want to move the data from Excel into
Access and use and maintain the data in Access from then on.

Create an Access report from Excel data If you are familiar with designing
Access reports and want to summarize and organize your Excel data in this
type of report, you can create an Access report from the data in your Excel
range. For more information about designing and using Access reports, refer
to Access Help.
