    Red face Word Mail Merge Record

    Hi there

    We do alot of mail merging in our business and I am trying to work out if it is possible to record the mail merge process so that an operator cannot merge the data twice. The data sources are access tables so is it possible to mark the record as printed on the fly?

    Thanks

    Doug

    If you add a "Printed" field to your database, to contain "x", "yes" or whatever, this could be used to define the records that are omitted from print. Having printed, Word could write the value to that field to record it as printed.
