Hi All (especially Word Gods & Goddesses). The sample table is in Access (but it could be Excel if preferred). The desired result is a merge letter in Word. I can't seem to get the options & values to merge correctly. Some letters may have 1 option, some 15. I can get one option but not all. If I put in enough next record fields to accommodate 15 but the record only has 2 then they simply repeat (at least that's what I think is happening). Of course, the total as a calculation won't work although I could include it as another value in the table. Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks. /g Sample Table NAME OPTIONS VALUE Brian Smith Option 1 $50 Brian Smith Option 2 $25 Brian Smith Option 3 $75 Mary Jones Option 1 $50 Mary Jones Option4 $10 John James Option2 $25 John James Option3 $75 John James Option5 $15 John James Option 6 $5 Desired Result Dear Brian.
