I have tried it and it shows the value on first record and second record as 1
and then for the 3rd record as 2 and so on. Not sure why the value on second
record comes as 1 too?
any ideas please?

Hi Graham
Apologies for not being very precise previously but here it is -
I am merging information from order and order products into word. The
order information is like a header and all the order product
information is merged into a table under that header.
In the table i also want to have a column called item number which is
numbered starting from 1 through to the number of products merged. For
example for 6 products it should be 1,2,3,4,5,6 and if 4 products are
merged it should be 1,2,3,4.
How do i go about this? Please let me know if you need more
clarification.
Regards
Ridhima

Thank you heaps Graham for this.
May i please also ask you another question - is it possible to add
incremental values in word just like you can in access starting at
1.

Word is not really designed to do this type of merge, and in any
case cannot go backwards through the data set. What you *may* be
able to do is store the field content from the first record and use
it later eg
{ IF{ Mergeseq } = 1 { Set A { MERGEFIELD Total} } }
do your stuff
{REF A}

Hi
I am merging information from a form with subform into word 2007.
I am aware of the directory source but due to very finick
formatting requirements i prefer using the next record syntax to
get information from all the rows in the order detail subform.
However at the end of the document i want to fetch the total which
comes from the orders form. If i insert the total field i get no
value which is understandable because the next record takes the
cursor to the field with no value in the totals. Can i somehow
tell word to go back to the first record and fetch the totals
value from there.
I would really appreciate some advice/ work around.
Kind Regards
