Hello all,
I have a document that I want to use for one client; however the client could have multiple rows because they could deal with several different banks. So all their demographic information stays the same but they might have many different bank it could be 1 or it could be 10, I have no idea at the time I run the merge. What I want to know is how to I run the merge that could have many different banks? Does this mmake sence? Borrow Name: Mr Jones Address: 1223 Any Street C/S/Z My Town, XX 12345 Bank Info 1st federal my Town1 XX 12345 2nd federal my Town 2 XX 12345 3rd federal my Town 3 XX 12345 "This could go on it stop at the second one." Credit Memo: Text from Database Reason for Loan: Reason Here Etc. So how do I get the bank info to repeat? I thought about using a uinion query but then I would still need to know how many loans. TIA, Rodger |

You are trying to perform a "multiple items per condition (=key field)"
mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do: 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 and at: http://cornell.veplan.net/article.aspx?&a=3815 -- Hope this helps.

Doug,
Thank you. I tried this option and it became confusing for the end user to be able to easily edit the document. I found that it was much easier to create a temporary table and write some code to concatenate the fields I need in one field. Thanks again for your suggestion.
