MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2007date driven mail merge
I have a database that I use to mail merge the info into another document. I would like to be able to merge the info based on a date. Is that possible. Where are you getting the date information from and what do you want to do at a certain date?

I merge this info into a report and would like the capability of having the report generated by a start date and end date. My goal is to try and recreate the report for a date without having to go through the database and unselect info after a certain date. > Where are you getting the date information from and what do you want to do > at a certain date? > > > I have a database that I use to mail merge the info into another > > document.

I would just filter the excel spreadsheet using auto or advanced filter depending on how complex a selection criteria you have and merge from that. You could also use an IF statement in word to select based on a criteria, probably nested with the "next record" statement, but its seems a bit unneccesarily complicated to me. > I have a database that has a column with date info in it.
