Query For Mail Merge

Hi,
I've created a query to be used for a Word mail merge. Today each ow in the
resulting query contain; a customer name, a customer agreement number and
about 40 other fields. Since most customers have more than one agreement my
query typpically looks like this;

Customer     Agreement
A                     A1
A                     A2
B                     B1
C                     C1
C                     C2
C                     C3

This implies that when I carry out my mail merge with attachements from Word
a separate document is created for each agreement number i.e. 6 reports as
per the example above. My question however how I can make Word create only
one report per customer i.e. 3 reports as per the example above. Reading the
forum I have understood that Word lacks this ability and that the most
convinient way would be to use Access for this but my question is how?

Regards, Johan

You would need to write your report in Access. You can base it on the same
query but get it to group on customer. If you don;t use the report writer
normally try the Create report using Wizard and follow the steps.

You should be able to do this in Word Merge with NextRecord or something
similar. You can also use Access to concatenate the Agreement values for
merging. There is a generic concatenate function and sample usage at
