Why not create the letter as an Access Report.

Word does not really have the ability to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge.
See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP

Hi NG,

I have two Access tables, one containing customer names, the other one
items each customer has purchased. The tables are linked properly with an
ID. The task is now that a mail merge letters shall be sent to each
customer that includes a table of all item the customer has purchased.

Mail merge letters, Access queries, etc. are no problem, but how do I
create such a linked table in a Word mail merge letter? Is that possible
at all?

Thank you for any hints.
