The excel sheet has 13 rows per pupil, each containing :
surname forename reg Teacher subject level effort

In the word template this is then condensed into :
name (surname+forename) and reg at the top,
then with a column for subject, column for teacher, column for level and a
column for effort.

Everything enters correctly into the form, with the exception that the 1st
level and effort rows from the excel sheet are missing.

Are you trying to merge multiple subjects, assessed levels and efforts for
each Surname, Forename, Form, Teacher?

Exactly how is your data source arranged?

Thanks for the quick reply,

I did have a next record after the last subject field but even with
that
removed it still omits the first record of the assessed level and effort
fields and automatically fills in the next record from the excel row.

very confusing.

Mail merge works fine, it copies :

Surname, Forename, Form, Teacher and Subject into a template designed
in
word, but then the next two columns (Assessed level and effort, which
are
both numeric) the merge omits the first record for each and
automatically
fills in with the next value from the following row.

The problem works out that all records are fine until the numeric
grades
which dont correspond to the correct subject as they have moved 1 row
up
the
template, following the merger omitting the 1st record.

Anybody know why it is always omitting the 1st numeric record?
