AskWoody PlusThanks, but I guess my question wasn’t clear enough. I am able to link the single page spreadsheet for the merge using Tools, Mail Merge. Where I run into trouble is the Query Options. There are multiple single letter codes in a field and I want to select the records based on “Contains” “A,” . But the problem is the only choices in the comparison column are Equal to, not equal to, Less than, Greater than, ,,,is blank, is not blank. There is no comparison choice for “Contains”. If I use equal to A, that works for records with only one code. But there are codes like A,M,T, So the only way I can think of to best select records is if I could choose CONTAINS A,. So I’m looking for a way to add “Contains” to the Comparison choices. Thanks again, J

AskWoody PlusThanks, but I already looked there. My understanding is I shouldn’t check these since there are no special prefixes to dial at all. Just omit the local area code when dialing numbers within the same area.

AskWoody PlusThanks! I did uninstall it and the problem has been solved. FYI, it looks like it was also was causing a problem with Norton Anti virus, because that also cleared up immediately after uninstalling Dave’s.
Thanks again!
