Mail Merge is only designed to use a single data source.
What to do if you have more than one depends at least in part on a. what the relationship between the two data sources is, and what you are trying to produce (e.g. are you doing a "one-to-many" merge where one data source has one record (such as "Customer") and the other has multiple records for that Customer? Or do your two data sources each have one record per Customer (or whatever)? Or maybe you have a main data source and you need to pull in a couple of items from somewhere else, in which case http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0004.htm might help) b. what the data sources are, and the options available for joining them together. e.g. you can do some stuff with Excel workbooks and tables using the Access/Jet driver/provider and some SQL. Or you can write code to turn your two data sources into a single data source. Or you can do the same thing manually before mergeing. c. whether you can use Word VBA and Word's Mailmerge events to do what you need. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Nathan" wrote in message ...
