Parent/Child bulletted merge fields
The purpose of the document is to serve as a survey report, where the survey
was collected in Access 2003 and the report will be developed in Word 2000. The problem: From queries with two fields, Town and Comment, how can I set up the Town field to be a parent to a list of bulletted comment fields? As: Town1 *Comment1 *Comment2 Town2 *Comment1 *Comment2 *Comment3 .....etc. I've searched the group, but I may be unaware of the right key words for this problem. Thank you in advance for your help! |

You should use a report in Access. It is far easier and more capable than
Word for this type of thing. However, if you are a masochist, see the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 and at http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMerge.htm -- Hope this helps.

Parent/Child bulletted merge fields
Thanks, Doug. And, yes, I do believe I may be a secret masochist. The
requirements of survey reporting, such as explanations of method and statistical development--not to mention heavy-duty text selection and manipulation on a survey with multiple comment fields--couples with my abysmal knowledge of Access reporting to push me in the direction of self-flagellation. If I had a spare week, I'd probably invest in a course in Crystal Reports. Besides, the printing outfit I use is still using a couple dozen monks with quill pens to copy and illuminate my text submissions. Anything beyond a Word file may be lost on them.
