Remarks

When the RichEditMailMergeOptions.ViewMergedData property is enabled, a field displays the data record with the index specified by the ActiveRecord property.

The code example below makes document fields display the tenth data record:

C#

this.richEditControl1.LoadDocument(documentFile);

var document = this.richEditControl1.Document;
document.InsertText(document.Range.End, " ");
document.Fields.Create(document.Range.End, @"MERGEFIELD FirstName");

richEditControl1.Options.MailMerge.DataSource = table;
richEditControl1.Options.MailMerge.ViewMergedData = true;
richEditControl1.Options.MailMerge.ActiveRecord = 10;

VB.NET

Me.richEditControl1.LoadDocument(documentFile)
Dim document = Me.richEditControl1.Document
document.InsertText(document.Range.End, " ")
document.Fields.Create(document.Range.End, "MERGEFIELD FirstName")

richEditControl1.Options.MailMerge.DataSource = table
richEditControl1.Options.MailMerge.ViewMergedData = True
richEditControl1.Options.MailMerge.ActiveRecord = 10
