Combine multiple merges into one document
I have written an app in access to accept bio data for individuals. This
data is sent to word for merging. The catch: I have 60 different letters to which the data can be sent--depending on which letter the user selects for the individual. I want to capture the resulting merge for each letter type and merge the letters into one master document that the user can review/print. Any advice will be most welcome. Thank you. |

Combine multiple merges into one document
It is not clear if you are merging multiple records to each selected letter
and whether it is by each record that you want to combine the resulting letters, or whether it is just one record at a time that is being merged to multiple mailmerge main documents. Also, how does the user select the letters with which the data is to be merged? There's no doubt that what you want can be done, but it is not clear exactly what it is that you want. -- Hope this helps.

Combine multiple merges into one document
Hi ?B?a2F1Zm1lZA==?=,
I have written an app in access to accept bio data for individuals. This data is sent to word for merging. The catch: I have 60 different letters to which the data can be sent--depending on which letter the user selects for the individual. I want to capture the resulting merge for each letter type and merge the letters into one master document that the user can review/print. I think I follow what you intend. My advice would be to provide a form with checkboxes. The user indicates by clicking the checkboxes which separate documents he wants to use. The code then starts with a single document created from a template attached to the data source. Using Insert/File it inserts each required document, which already contains merge fields. The mail merge is then executed - the "master document" is the result.
