    <p>I would like to able to save the active file in Word 2010 MailMerge, with its file name derived from the database field "First_Name" and from the database Field "Last_Name" into a subfolder that is a hardcoded subfolder. </p> <p>I receive an error that the <code>"requested member of the collection does not exist"</code>. </p> <p>I know this error occurs when you try to access an object that does not exist. The data base field is First_Name, and I have tried First Name as well in case the code was searching for the Address Field of First Name, which has been paired with the Data Base Field of First_Name. Here is what I have tried:</p> <pre><code>Sub SavingIndividuallyByCustomerName() Dim firstname As String Dim lastname As String firstname = ActiveDocument.FormFields("First_Name").Result lastname = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Last_Name").Result With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord .LastRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord End With .Execute Pause:=False End With ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\folder\subfolder\subsubfolder\" ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:= _ "C:\folder\subfolder\subsubfolder\" &amp; firstname &amp; lastname &amp; ".docx" End Sub </code></pre> <p>When I hardcoded the name with</p> <pre><code>firstname = "John" lastname = "Doe" </code></pre> <p>I had no other errors and the active file saved.</p> <p>I also attempted to use without success:</p> <pre><code>Dim firstname As Field Dim lastname As Field </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
