Mail Merging more than one record at a time! Help!

[danielburnet]

Hi all.

I am in a bit of a situation. Prolly really easy to fix, but yeah.

I have figured out how to creat merge fields etc, and how to apply them within a letter made in fmpro. My problem is how can I do a mail merge for say 40 clients all with the same letter. I was hoping something that would physically show on a layout page, the 40 letters (as you scroll down) and each indivdual clients details merged. I guess problem is 1. Actually merging more than one record. 2. Being able to select the records that you wanted for the mail merge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Do a find to select the records you want for the mail merge. Switch to the layout you have created with your letter and merge fields. You should now be able to scroll through (using the book) the individual letters in either browse or preview mode.

If you can't see the letters, you've probably set up something wrong in the layout. Is all your letter and merge fields in the body part?

Cheers
