MAIL MERGING

duckfoot · Apr 30th, 2002, 08:30 AM

I've another problem that may have no solution but hopefully someone will have some ideas...
I need to mail merge some data from an excel list into a standard letter in Word. The data has 3 columns: Dealer, REG and MODEL.
For each Dealer there may be from 1 to 50 vehicles and there are several hundred Dealers. The problem is that i need one letter for each Dealer and a list of the related vehicles on the letter.
I need to know how i can group the data so that the merge takes the, say, '7' vehicles in the '7' rows that Dealer 'x' has and not produce 7 letters one for each vehicle.
Is this clear? Hope so...
Thanks alot

You could put the Reg/Model list into one cell for each dealer then you can use this field in your Word document and it will print out one list for each dealer. This can be done easily in VB. Repost if you need help.
