I think I am done playing around with Filemaker. I'd love to have a brain that gravitated to the subject rather than taking each challenge as its own brainteaser

I import Real Estate data into my database and Im trying to do a few extra things with it now. I mail out Postcards and Letters to selected prospects in my database. The Postcard part is pretty easy as I only need to print out labels. I'd now like to be able to "mail merge" the letters and print or save as PDF right out of Filemaker.

Each person receives a variety of postcards and letters from me that I need to keep track of. I already have a system in place that uses scripts to set up the campaign, set dates, postpone dates when needed, etc, but it may need improvement.

Would anyone like to help me out with getting this set up? I am willing to converse via email, screencast, IM, etc to explain in more detail.

Thanks to anyone who'd like to help me out!

If you want to print letters to sent out by regular mail, seems like you could simply print them directly form Filemaker rather than to mail merge them into another program. You could include the envelopes in that process also.

Hi

I have good experience in mail merge, if you need any help, let me know.. and send me file to have a look on my personal email address [email protected].

Did you find assistance? If not, I'd be delighted to assist. I have 17 years of FM experience and manage a large real estate portfolio using Filemaker as the sole database and management tool.

Hi ironsuit,

Cameron hasn't logged in since the 27th of May, so I doubt he will see your Reply in a timely manner. The OPs are suppose to post their Email address, or method of contact, so that they receive quicker notice by interested parties, and if they have filled the position, then they need to come back and post that information too, so that others are not wasting their time. Since Cameron did NOT do this, you should use the Private Topic method of contact, and he should get a notification by email of your contact.

Thank you for the response, ironsuit. I do have someone working with me on the project right now. I'll be sure to post back like Lee said with an update the next time I request assistance.
