Access Idiot, Foxpro to Access....

Ok, here is my situation...

I'm trying to link data from Foxpro into Access, customer information, customer id, names, addresses, order dates, etc...

My goal is to create a way for the user to be able to 'check yes/no' if this particular record is to receive a letter or not.

I was thinking of adding another field called "Letter" into the linked table, with the option of yes/no, and then create a query that pulls out all the 'yes' records that are in the database, and sends it to a mail merge in word. Is there a better way of doing this? Is it even possible to add a field to a linked table from Foxpro?

I'm definately over my head here, trying to learn in a week what usually takes a few months. Thanks for the help!!

Is FoxPro a database?

What you're saying *sounds* like it should work, but it's hard to say without knowing both systems...
