I am not sure what I was doing wrong but I think I have
accomplished it. There is just one more challange, The
same photo is in each merged document. The only way to
change this is to ctrl +a and f9- however this just
duplicates the problem with the other records. Is there a
way to have the correct picture with each merged record?
If not do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you again!!!!!!!
