Does anyone know a way to merge a letter with more than
one database?  Is this possible?

It cannot be done simultaneously.  It can however be done consecutively by
merging against one database and then changing the datasource for the merge
against the second database.

That's assuming that both databases contain the same fields.

If you were using Access, you could however create a Union query to combine
the two sets of data.

If part of the information for each record is in one database and part of it
is in another, in Access, you could use a select query to get combine the
parts of each record.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
