Saving a mail merged document using the value from a datafield

[Biz Analyst]

Hi,

I am running a mail merge to a new document. The template is one
page, and I have some code to pull each page from the merged document
and save it as its own new file. So, right now, it ends up being
MergeResult1.doc, MergeResult2.doc, MergeResult3.doc, etc... What I
want to do is save each file using one of the datafield values
(employee ID). In this case, it would look like this:
employee_12345.doc, employee_67890.doc, employee_98765.doc, etc.
Right now the code saves the doc using a doc counter, but I want to
have it pull the value from the employee ID datafield and add it to
the filename string. I know this is simple for someone out there.
Can you help me out? ~ Sean

Here's my code

Sub SaveAllSubDocs(ByRef doc As Word.Document)
Dim subdoc As Word.Subdocument
Dim newdoc As Word.Document
Dim docCounter As Long
docCounter = 1
'Must be in MasterView to work with
'Subdocs as separate files
doc.ActiveWindow.View = wdMasterView
For Each subdoc In doc.Subdocuments
Set newdoc = subdoc.Open
'Remove NextPage section breaks
'originating from mailmerge
RemoveAllSectionBreaks newdoc
With newdoc
..SaveAs FileName:="MergeResult" & CStr(docCounter)
..Close
End With
docCounter = docCounter + 1
Next subdoc
End Sub
