I have created 4 attendance lists for the receptionist by merging the
attendees direct from our database, via a query, into her form via a table -
which saves her creating the lists manually since we already have the data

it works fine but the table isn't dynamic (can't add/remove rows
accordingly) - i just estimated how many rows (max) she will need which is
obviously not ideal

is there a method of merging into a dynamic table (one that creates as many
rows as records)?

Set the merge document type to Catalog/Directory and merge into a single row
table. Merge to a new document to add any supplementary information.

You might also try using Tools|Customize to enable the Database toolbar and
use the Insert|Database icon to insert your query results as a { DATABASE }
field. It isn't "merging", but it might suit your purpose.
