Could someone please tell me if it is possible to merge from two or more data
sources into a main doc.

If so please explain how.

Mailmerge works only with a single file or table - that could be from an
external query.

It depends on the nature of your data source - e.g. Access is better at
manipulating data than Word. With Excel you could create a table to collate
your information and merge from that.

Steve,

You do have the option of using Insert/Field/Database combined with a
merge document, with this method you can combine multiple data sources
as long as they all have a common link between them i.e unique i.d
number.
Its all according how you would like the layout of the document/data
to appear.
I'm currently working on a project to see if this method would be
useful in my line of work so feel free to reply and discuss.

Regards
Badger
