Weird problem: Print command ignores NEXT field when printing a document
with records from an access database table. Displaying the document shows it
properly formatted with all the proper fields and records. Printing the
document prints it with the first record repeated where succeeding records
should be and the display changes to the document as printed. This problem
is repeatable.

This is not mail merge. I am inserting a table and populating each cell.

AFAIK, the Next field works only with Mailmerge.

How are you populating the table? Here's how you would use VBA to do it.
You will need to set a reference to the DAO object library to use it:

Dim myDataBase As Database

Dim myActiveRecord As Recordset

Dim i As Long

Dim dtable As Table, drow As Row

'Open a database

Set myDataBase = OpenDatabase("c:\Access\Procurement Plan.mdb")

'Access the first record from a particular table

Set myActiveRecord = myDataBase.OpenRecordset("Currencies",
dbOpenForwardOnly)

'Add a table to the document with one row and as many fields as there are in
the database table

Set dtable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=1,
numcolumns:=myActiveRecord.Fields.Count)

Set drow = dtable.Rows(1)

'Loop through all the records in the table until the end-of-file marker is
reached

Do While Not myActiveRecord.EOF

'Populate the cells in the Word table with the data from the current
record

For i = 1 To myActiveRecord.Fields.Count

drow.Cells(i).Range.Text = myActiveRecord.Fields(i - 1)

Next i

'Add a new row to the Word table and access the next record

Set drow = dtable.Rows.Add

myActiveRecord.MoveNext

Loop

'The last row will be empty, so delete it

drow.Delete

'Then close the database

myActiveRecord.Close

myDataBase.Close

Thank you for your help. I learned something. When you populate a table
using Insert; Quick Parts; you have to finish it with Mailings; Finish &
Merge;. This was not obvious since the document displays correctly.
