Repeat a merge if a record exists or end if it doesn't
I changed the document type to a directory and deleted the fields that i
would normally have repeated, but this time it only placed 1 record in the
document, no others.

«QuestionText»

Follow-up Action Taken/Required:
When you execute that merge to a new document, that information will be
repeated for each record in the data source.

Greetings,
I am trying to make a document in which my data source is a .txt document
generated from an access query and exported. I want the document to look
at
the data source and list all of the records in the .txt document. But,
when
there is no longer any records to list, I want it to stop. Right now I
have
to put 40 different mrege record entires in to cover possible record
entries
from the query.
Here is what I have now:
«QuestionText»
«AnswerText»
Follow-up Action Taken/Required:
«Next Record If»«QuestionText»
«AnswerText»
Follow-up Action Taken/Required:
From Next Record If it is just repeated so that the form is looking
for
the next record. Basically if the next record answer text field has
something listed, i want the question associated with the answer and the
answer itself to come up. The Follow-up action taken/required needs to
come
up when there is an answer text merged from the query. If there aren't
any
more records i don't want nearly 3 pages of empty document.
I am sorry if this doesn't make sense but I can try to clarify if needed.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated
