Problem

Solutions: FYI: This primary merge file will merge information from a secondary file into a table, where you wish the number of rows in the table to increase according to the number of records you have in your secondary file: |============================================================| |{LABEL}TOP~{FIELD}1~|{FIELD}2~ |{FIELD}3~{NEXT RECORD} | |--------------------|---------------|-----------------------| |{GO}TOP~ | | | |============================================================| The {LABEL}top~ command marks the beginning of the section of the table that will repeat once for each record, and the {NEXT RECORD}{GO}top~ command marks the end. When the merge reaches the {GO}top~ command, it automatically goes back to the beginning ({LABEL}top~). When there are no more records to merge from the secondary file, the merge automatically inserts the bottom of the table. Create the table so that it has the appropriate number of columns for the intended project and two rows (not including a header row, if you need one). Place the field codes in the appropriate columns. Enter the {LABEL}, {NEXT RECORD}, and {GO} commands where indicated from the Advanced Merge commands menu (Shift-F9, 6).
