I was using Mail merge before and it was awful as it had a link at had issues. I understand that you are recommending a template which is different to mail merge however with no template the database works well on any computer even USB drive and does not have any issue with linking with documents further creating the document from scratch is highly flexible so if I want a tables of varying sizes it can be done easily with loops. Also It's working well except for the issue that you have highlighted with the Active document. Is there any alternatives to this referencing. I tried just placing .instead of but it didn't appreciate it. Thanks
