Thanks Tamar. Will take a look.
>>Re-reading the chapter in the book, the only reason "against" mergefields is the fact that you have to have ODBC set up on the client machine to attach to a data source - and the potential problems with that. They then recommend to instead create the datasource on the fly via setting up a table in a new document (if I follow them correctly) and then programatically attaching that data to the main document. Or at least it seems that way. The code in their book seems fairly straightforward.
