MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006mailmerge or formfields
Hello List, I have a question. I was wandering what the best method is to put data into a word document. At the moment I am using mail merge, but I heard that mail merge does a maximum of 63 fields?? Is this true. I am currently at 59 fields, And I am still adding fields every now and again. I am only generating 1 document. So I was thinking maybe form fields might be better? Which will work the best and be most efficient? Thanks Nathan The number of mergefields depends on your sanity and the source of the data. While a data source in a Word Table is limited to the maximum number of columns that you can have in a Word table (64), an Excel Spreadsheet or an Access Database Table can have up to 256 fields.

I mean is there any options i can pass when starting a mailmerge with .Merge to tell it to be silent??
