I'm trying to mailmerge and generate a url pointing to a basic web address
with varying extras on the end depending on which record is merged.

http://s-tagg.market.strath.ac.uk/tria/tria.htm?hid_bypass=tria,test,test

test, test should be substitued by different text for each record.

Using Word 2003 with SP1.

Dr. Tagg,

Not sure I follow you.

Can you make:
http://s-tagg.market.strath.ac.uk/tria/tria.htm?hid_bypass=tria.
part of your main documentment then use {Mergefield "YourMergeField"} to
supply the .test.test element?

Like

http://s-tagg.market.strath.ac.uk/tria/tria.htm?hid_bypass=tria.{Mergefield
"YourMergeField1"}. {Mergefield "YourMergeField2"}

Thanks Greg,
Yes I've tried mergefields.
What I really want is a clickable <Click here> in blue with the unrevealed
changing address (that is generated OK as text by the mergefields) activated.

Doctor Tagg,

See if the method Peter Jamieson discusses for merging a URL at this link
might help:
