Automated Merge Reports
I have a directory style merge document that extracts data from an external
source based on the criteria I select using the add recipients button. This merged report is run many times in one session with the 12-15 different individual reports created based on different recipient criteria. Rather than manually going through the process of changing the recipient information for eachreport, is there a way I can automate this document, so that at a push of a button perhaps, all the reports are calculated based on their individual criteria without any user input? |

Automated Merge Reports
Sounds like you may be 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 "Look2TheSky2" wrote in message ...

Thank you Doug for the help! This is a bit to technically challenging for me to pursue, so I will continue to do things the old slow way. |
