Default Mailmerge multiple lines (invoice etc)

Hi all

At some point in the near future the application we are writing will need to
call/automate/workwith Word for the creation of invoices etc

I understand the basic mailmerge stuff and it is quite easy to put an
address block in etc.

But what do people do when they want to merge in an invoice style block
where they do not know howmany "lines" there will be ?

Does anyone out there use Word for invoices ? if so how do you deal with say
the four columns Item Description, Qty, Price, Total. As one invoice could
be a single line and another could be 20 or more ... even two pages.

Obviously I could setup masses of merge fields and have a fixed size records
but this seems too limiting.

I need my application to be 'in charge' so don't really want to go down the
VB script route to automate Word but this is not out of the question so long
as my app knows what was going on and VB could get at te SQL data in a
realitivly complex relational database without miles of code

Thanks in advance for any tips

Kind Regards

Andrew
