Thanks for that Peter. Yes, I had seen the \o switch, alas I do need to do
better. As of yet, know nothing of VBA coding, looks like I have a new
project to investigate!
Thanks for the help.

Have you at least discovered the \o switch in the FILLIN field, which
should mean that the user is only prompted once for each merge?
If you need to do better than that, it's probably best to consider a
different prompt mechanism - there are various ways to do it - for
example, a simple VBA inputbox can capture a value that you store in a
Document variable which you can insert in the merge output using {
DOCVARIABLE } fields. Or if your data source is an RDBMS of some kind, you
could consider storing the value in a 1-column, 1-row table: use a SQL
outer join with your original data source and your value should end up in
every row you want to merge.

Hi, any assistance you could give would be appreciated.
I have a document with embedded sub-documents, and due to this the
mail-merge will be run multiple times on this document (no way to avoid
this). I have just discovered the neat Fill-In function, however the
required questions could be re-requested in the same (one-off) document
multiple times.
This document will be used to merge information from a database for one
particular client on an as needs basis, so is there a way to restrict the
Fill-In pop-ups so that they are asked only once (or X times, if that is
possible).
Thanks in advance.
