I plan to be running such letters next Saturday at a hamfest. Getting our Senate letters right is of great importance because one of our Senators is on the relevant committee.
If anyone knows how to fix or work around this issue, a quick response would be most appreciated.
Tnx es 73,

We're just back from the Southwestern Division Convention, having sent over
400 letters back with Ed Hare to HQ. Unfortunately, over 160 of them may be
unusable. It turns out that our Access database, which worked well for
House letters, was generating senate letters containing the house-bill
information. We discovered this late Saturday morning after having already
put in eight hours at the booth since Friday afternoon. Reinstalling the
database from the flash drive given to Directors did not fix the problem.
I'm glad I was not near a live mic at the time! My work-around was to print
stacks of form letters I had previously created for our two California
senators and have people manually add their own address below their
signature. That was, of course, a much slower process.
It had been made clear to me that changing the content of the
Access-generated letters requires considerable Access expertise, which I do
not possess.
I hope Dan and crew can figure out a way to make use of all those signatures
on the faulty letters.
