oohh .. I am pretty
oohh .. I am pretty excited.. I though I had some horrible task to do.. and then I thought about mail merge.. and now I have done all the horrible work adn told others about the wonders of mail merge..
I had to create 120 ish sql insert statements, where 2 of the fields I had unique values, and everythign else was the same per record.. so i made a data document with all the data in a nice table.. then i made the insert statment in another document, put the fields into hte right spots, pressed the merge button.. and voila! well there was a little bit more in the middle with choosing files, selecting the right fields ... but hoorah! much better plan.. one of them was really big and the document ended up beoing over 500 pages.. so I copied it into a better editor.. but I am feeling all lovely now..
