Dynamical tables

[Phantim]

1) I have a data source that I am inserting into a table, however, this data source is of varying record counts each time it is run. Currently, we have to make sure there are enough rows in our Word doc to accomodate the number of records in our data source

Is there a way to have the next table row dynamically created on whether or not it has reached the end of records

2) Is there a merge field for showing a record count? Say I have 14 names and address that I have merged into a check list, I would like to have on the last page, that there are 14 participants //or whatever the number of recrods that were merged in//.

I know, answering my own post...
I figured out part one by making my merge type a Directory, but I stil have not figured out how to display a record count automatically.

The following code in a macro will display the number of records in the
datasource attached to the active document:

MsgBox ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.RecordCount
