I've seen that there is a "Catalog" type of mailmerge file, which would
presumably handle invoice detail lines, however I haven't seen how to
provide a header and footer for the items in the "catalog". Can someone
point me in the right direction? Thanks, Kevin

This is not at all easy to do, but see the piece on complex merges on
Cindy's web site http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister

I've read several of Cindy's piece on MS's site. She's wonderful, and pulls
no punches about how bad a job MS has done with this stuff.

I finally convinced the client that emailing invoices as attachments rather
than as the body of the message was ok, got a cheap pdf writer, and am
blissfully emailing Access reports from Access rather than breaking my head
on mailmerge. "Office integration" indeed! Thanks, Kevin
