Removing the Application Title solved the problem. In Access 2000 this is
found by using the Tools/Startup dialog box. Thanks. :-)

Hi ?B?RGFu?=,

When I open a Word mail merge doc using code in an Access db a second
instance of the Access database is opened. Is there any way to prevent this
from happening?

Using a DDE connection, I presume? Sometimes, you can make this stop by
removing any customized title bar you've assigned to the Access database
(Tools/Options dialog box).
