Insert table into document
I am merging data from a SQL 2k backend into a word document. Can I insert a
list of items? For example, I have one client name, and then several orders for that client that I would like to list. I can pull data from my client table, but need to pull order records from another table and insert specifics from those orders into various fields on the Word document. -- sam |

Word does not really have the ability to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge. See the "Multiple items per condition" item under the "Special merges" section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/MergFram.htm Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article How to Work Around Duplicate Names in Mail Merge Data http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;302665 Or, if you create a Catalog (on in Word XP and later, it's called Directory) type mailmerge main document with the mergefields in the cells of a one row table in the mailmerge main document with the keyfield in the first cell in the row and then execute that merge to a new document and then run the following macro, it will create separate tables with the records for each key field in them. With a bit of further development, you may be able to get it to do what you want. ' Macro to create multiple items per condition in separate tables from a directory type mailmerge Dim source As Document, target As Document, scat As Range, tcat As Range Dim data As Range, stab As Table, ttab As Table Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, n As Long Set source = ActiveDocument Set target = Documents.Add Set stab = source.Tables(1) k = stab.Columns.Count Set ttab = target.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, numrows:=1, numcolumns:=k - 1) Set scat = stab.Cell(1, 1).Range scat.End = scat.End - 1 ttab.Cell(1, 1).Range = scat j = ttab.Rows.Count For i = 1 To stab.Rows.Count Set tcat = ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range tcat.End = tcat.End - 1 Set scat = stab.Cell(i, 1).Range scat.End = scat.End - 1 If scat tcat Then ttab.Rows.Add j = ttab.Rows.Count ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range = scat ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = True ttab.Rows.Add ttab.Cell(j + 1, 1).Range.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = False For n = 2 To k Set data = stab.Cell(i, n).Range data.End = data.End - 1 ttab.Cell(ttab.Rows.Count, n - 1).Range = data Next n Else ttab.Rows.Add For n = 2 To k Set data = stab.Cell(i, n).Range data.End = data.End - 1 ttab.Cell(ttab.Rows.Count, n - 1).Range = data Next n End If Next i -- Hope this helps.
