Merging Query Data from Access to Word.

[SAM, Australia]

Hi,

I would like some help regarding merging query results into a word document.

For example,

currently my query results in (there is nothing wrong with my query result)

x y1 z1
x y2 z2
x y3 z3
x y4 z4

My table in access has the three feilds x, y and z, plus ID which is my
Primary key.

However when i merge the above query into a word document, all i get is

x y1 z1

I can not merge in data which is not on the first line of the results table.
What i would like is to be able to merge in data so the result is:

x y1 z1
y2 z2
y3 z3.

Your help on helping solve this challenge would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

SAM

the built in word merge will only merge ONE RECORD per each word document.

This is *usually* what most people want.

It seems that you want 'MANY' records to be merged in to ONE document.

The above process unfortunately is difficult....


There are some examples of how to do this here:

look on the left side for speical merges. The one you want is

Multiple items per condition

If you only want the data from the Access database you could try the
Directory option in Word when you set up the mail merge - this outputs all
records as a list however any text you add will be output for each record
