MailMergeDataSource.ActiveRecord Property (Word)
Returns or sets the active mail merge record. Can be either a valid record number in the query result or one of the WdMailMergeActiveRecord constants.
Syntax
expression .ActiveRecord
expression A variable that represents a MailMergeDataSource object.
Remarks
The active record number is the position of the record in the query result produced by the current query options; as such, this number isn't necessarily the position of the record in the data source.
Example
This example hides the mail merge field codes in the active document so that the merge data is visible in the main document. The active record is then advanced to the next record in the data source.
If ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType <> _
wdNotAMergeDocument Then
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.ViewMailMergeFieldCodes = False
.DataSource.ActiveRecord = wdNextRecord
End With
End If
This example returns the numeric position of the active record from Main2.doc.
Dim intRecordNumber as Integer
If Documents("Main2.doc").MailMerge.State = _
wdMainAndDataSource Or _
wdMainAndSourceAndHeader Then
intRecordNumber = Documents("Main2.doc").MailMerge _
.DataSource.ActiveRecord
End If
