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. |

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 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 -- 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 "Malhyp" wrote in message ...
