ActiveRecord Property

WdMailMergeActiveRecord

WdMailMergeActiveRecord can be one of these WdMailMergeActiveRecord constants.

wdLastRecord

wdNoActiveRecord

wdFirstRecord

wdNextRecord

wdPreviousRecord

 

Note   The active data 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 numerical position of the active data 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
