Default Help with mail merge

Hey there, thanks for the reply earlier. I am trying to mail merge using
Outlook 2003. I am sending an email to 100 people and Outlook lets you select
almost all the fields you want from Access.

However I am having a problem merging results from particular customers. An
example of this would be...

In the Access database I have 100 customers. Each customer has 5 results
which are listed below.

If I create a repeat region using ASP in my website I get the following
result.

Name: Bob
Product: Cars, Trees, Trams, Animals, Houses
Email:

When I create a mail merge I get the following result.

Name: Bob
Product: Cars
Email:


Name: Bob
Product: Trees
Email:


Name: Bob
Product: Trams
Email:


Name: Bob
Product: Animals
Email:


Name: Bob
Product: Houses
Email:


This also means that if I go ahead with the mail merge email, my client
receives five seperate emails.

Can anyone help with this issue?

If not clear please ask any questions.

Cheers
Mally.

Default Help with mail merge

That amounts to a "multiple items per condition (=key field)" mailmerge
which Word does not really have the ability to do:

If I had to do that, I would be doing it all in Access. However, for
possibilities of using mailmerge in Word for it, see the "Group Multiple
items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at

Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article

Hope this helps.
