Hello Mr.Venu, yes, of course, I took a look at it and I checked this out. It was quite useable for mass-mailings, but not for single letters. e.g. My database contains a lot of adresses. I created a dialogbox, where I enter a name and now the corresponding adress will be looked up in th DB. now if mysql returned only one row, a *.DOT document is loaded and I cut and past each part of the adress from my hidden SQL result into the letterhead. Problem is, that I have to use a second document for keeping the SQL-Result and - which is a larger Problem - I cannot update any DB records.
