> > My company just asked me to figure out how to do this but I've never done it before. Basically, the VP will send out a word document letter to everyone. On the top of the letter where the "Dear :" line is, which doesn't have a name yet. He asked me to see how to do this when he sends the email out from his emailing list, it will print out each name individually as it sends out email to that person. For example, "Dear Tai Nguyen:" and sends to me, to someone else and so on. Can you show me how to do this if you know? Thanks.

Hey guys,

I found a quicker way to do this without the Foxpro. First, open your word document, under tools, choose "Mail Merge". From there you go for steps like, select this open document as your current document. You then locate your contact list as your source (set the field(s) you want on the document for dynamically changes). Now all you have to do is to merge them. Depends on how you selected from the beginning, either you want to send through the emails or print them out. Hope this helps. Celtin's code would be great to exam too. That way we can understand more in details about the code working behind. Thanks Celtin.

Tai Nguyen.
