Default Next Record IF

Hi AGolden,

There are no viruses in the tutorial, so it didn't give your "PTA laptop a virus". Kindly get your facts right.

Your claim "The tutorial wasn't helpful since it didn't actually have an example of code that I could use" suggests you either:
a) didn't bother to read the tutorial; or
b) quite unrealistically expected the extensive generic code there to be tailored to your particular situation.

This is why I usually don't post on message boards. The tutorial wasn't
helpful since it didn't actually have an example of code that I could use and
it gave my PTA laptop a virus.

No such thing as an easy answer.

The solution Macropod just mentioned is probably also applicable to your
problem:

To see how, check out my Word 97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge
Tutorial at:

or

Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document
included with it.

I'm attempting to create a Mail Merge document based on an Access query of
student data with a high level 'Parent' with one or multiple 'child' records.


I've read up on the NextIF or Next Record IF function but the syntax isn't
working. I'm trying to compare an ID of the current record against the ID of
the next record and when they are the same, print the next 'child' record.
If not, then go to the next page.

Any help would be appreciated.
