Mail Merge.
I have mail merge word doc, which links a different excel sheet
dependant on the merge data. I need to refine this so that the link is based on the name of the sheet and the data in one of the merged fields. I.E .... where postcode in the merged doc = "BS28 1PP" insert the sheet named "BS28 1PP". I don't know if this can be written into an IF statement in the Link field. Please ....... any help really really appreciated! thanks |

Mail Merge.
Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do: 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 or at: http://cornell.veplan.net/article.aspx?&a=3815 -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "BeJay" wrote in message ups.com...

Please ....... any help really really appreciated! thanks- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Doug, thanks for the links, however, I have tried to impliment the ideas there, but can't seem to get these methods to work for what I need .... which is Where MERGEFIELD LocRef = BOB, link to worksheet BOB, then Where MERGEFIELD LocRef= FRED, link to worksheet FRED. However, what is happening is:- Where MERGEFIELD LocRef = FRED, The letter is still linked to BOB worksheet and doesn't seem to want to pick up FRED. I have tried on seperate workbooks called BOB, FRED etc, but I still get the same problem. Again, any advice would be most gratefully appreciated. |
