Why does my mail merge open my database each time? All under MSOffice 2000. Setting up a Word mail merge doc which uses an Access database as its source. Works fine.. but actually opens the database.. which I don't want! I know I've set similar stuff up before and Word hasn't felt it necessary to open the database... just interrogate it... so what am I doing wrong?? Thanks for the response. It's a new doc I'm trying to create. I do have another doc which uses the same database as source.. and that works fine (i.e. doesn't fire up the database). Can't figure out what the difference is between the two though.

I need an online testing web app. What do you recommend? I need a database driven tool (preferably open source) that has a frontend and an admin backend. In the backend, I need the ability to add questions to a database with multiple choice answers. I would like the app to have the ability to pick a specified number of questions at random and create an online test. If the student passes the test, I'd like to automatically generate a certificate and print it out. I'd also like the results of the test to be logged in the database, and I'd like the ability to generate a report that lists the results of multiple tests from all students. I'd also like admins to have the ability to add users to the system and when a user is added, an email is sent to the student with a temporary username and password that only works for the test once. I know that this is a tall order. I'd be happy to find any open source web app that provides even a portion of these features. Please let me know if anything like this exists. Thanks!

I want to design a used car website, is there a good CMS to do this? I am looking to design a small used car website where people can register, then sign in and post their car for sale. I'd like to be able to have a way for them to post a photo and fill out a form with info about the car. I would also like to have the database searchable by users of the site so they can find what they're looking for. I am very familiar with open source CMS systems such as PHP Fusion. Is there a CMS system (free or otherwise) that would be fairly simple to turn into this type of site? I have extensive HTML knowledge but not much in PHP, so I'm looking to have something that wouldn't take much modifying. If a CMS system isn't the way to go, what is? What programs do I need to use to create a site that can do all of this? It doesn't have to be anything really fancy. Any help would be most appreciated. And please, don't post answers about your website design services. I'm not interested. I'm just looking for info on how to create this site myself. Thanks! I'm looking for something VERY close to one or more of these sites: http://www.leasetrade.com/ http://www.leasefolks.com/ http://www.swapalease.com/ http://www.takemypayments.com/ http://www.leasedwheels.com/
