Hi several days later .... I've made a separate mail merge for the sample sheets which I copy and paste into my main report - works a treat...



I've also managed to make some code and pull the info through from the spreadsheet into the word doc tables (hurrah!) BUT... now if I make an update to the information in the excel sheet, the table wont update and I get an error message... This is the code I'm using below... Any help on what I'm dong wrong. Again sorry if this is obvious, but I've never even heard of SQL code before so am on a rather steep learning curve! Thanks
