Word can only use a single flat file as a data source, so as a minimum, you
will have to combine the two files. You will then however end up with a file in which the producers are each repeated for each product that they produce and that then puts you in the trying to perform a "multiple items per condition (=key field)" mailmerge situation which Word does not really have the ability to do. If you have Access, it would be easier to do it all in Access, using a query that linked the producers from one table to their products in anothter table and then use a report to generate the letters. Alternatively, 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 "lt" wrote in message ... I want to send a letter to a group of producers. I have their addresses in an excel spreadsheet. I can easily do this with a mail merge. I also want to list all of the products they have registered. I have this information in another spreadsheet. How can I accomplish this? |
