What your attempting to do is called a bill of materials (BOM), basically a 
hierarchical view of some data. http://tinyurl.com/i9n9 has a few links with 
some discussions. Once the database schema is determined, the reporting tool 
Access, Word, web,  becomes irrelevant.

Subject: [SPAM?:###] [mso] Word Merge, Access VBA


Hi.

I'm still trying to find a way to create a list in Word Merge from Access data 
that lists a header and items with values such as in my example:

I've crawled all over Cindy Meister's MVP website and have learned a lot but 
frustratingly, not the answer I'm looking for.

Anyway, she mentioned this and I was wondering if one-ah-y'all geniuses could 
'splain whut she's talkin about and mebby how-to.
"Basically, you create a function in Access VBA and use it as a query 
expression in your data source. The function takes the ID and puts together the 
"many" data, followed by the total, in a tab-delimited string."

Looking for a clue in sunny central Florida. /g

Example Date:
Mike Todd    Socks    5
Mike Todd    Shoes    2
Sally Hansen    Socks    8
Sally Hansen     Skirts    2
Sally Hansen    Dresses    4
Sally Hansen    Shoes    27     

Example Desired Result:
Mike Todd
    Socks    5 pair
    Shoes    2 pair
      Total   7 Items
-----New Page-----
Sally Hansen
    Socks    8 pair
    Skirts    2 each
    Dresses 4 each
    Shoes    27 pair
        Total 42 Items
