Thanks for the lastest info. I had a look at the link and there is an add-on there that allows you split the mail merge and save the individual files as predefined names if you have them set up as a data field which I have tried out and it works. This way when I create the Directory I should be able to use that field again to import the data.

I haven't tried it all from start to finish to see if I have the finished article as I ran out of time at work.

I'll run through it all on Monday and let you know how I get on.

Thanks again
