Dennis,
Here's how:
01. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (32/64)
02. Define a report based on appropriate table
03. On [Detail] band, place "Advanced Rich Text" object. Right-click
and check "MailMerge" and "Stretch" properties
04. Double-click on "Advanced Rich Text" object to open "Advanced Rich
Text Editor".
This is where you will design a letter with all relevant text as
well as [Insert Field...] or [Insert Variable...] for MailMerge.
For complete details and a sample letter, take a look at the report
"CustomFormLetter" included with RRBYW17 sample applications.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
