I agree with Doug about the code he does not understand - since I am not the original author of this code and do not speak VBA any way I have been struggling to find my way to add new function to the application.

The merge document is selected by the user from an Access table in which the full path to the file is stored, so what the code that we cannot understand does is to strip off the path to the document from strDocName: -
Dim intSplitName As Integer
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength = Len(strDocName)
intSplitName = InStrRev(strDocName, "\", , vbTextCompare)
strDocName = Right(strDocName, intLength - intSplitName)


objApp.Windows(strDocName).Activate
objApp.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
So perhaps what the last line does is to shut the new document, since the original merge document is displayed. I have tried commenting out this code but that only results in an error. I will try changing ActiveWindow in the last line to strDocName!

Many thanks for your time and trouble

I do not understand the following part of your code:

Dim intSplitName As Integer
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength = Len(strDocName)
intSplitName = InStrRev(strDocName, "\", , vbTextCompare)
strDocName = Right(strDocName, intLength - intSplitName)


objApp.Windows(strDocName).Activate
objApp.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

If you want to close the mail merge main document without saving it, just
use:

strDocName.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges

I do not speak VBA! I have managed to stop Word from displaying Save As
but have finished up with the Word document displayed, but not the
result of the merge. I have tried inserting the code for
"MailMergeAfterMerge(ByVal Doc As Document, ByVal DocResult As
Document)" but that fails. What I would like is to have the merge
result alone displayed.

I attach the VBA module exported as .bas in a zip file since copying it
as text into Word came out too large.

Many thanks in advance for your help

To explain: - I have recently been asked by a UK charity to help update
their system. I have 'inherited' what has been constructed for them in
Access, with use of Word Mail Merge, controlled by a Visyal Basic
module. I was asked to upgrade to MS Office 2007. As I got it the mail
merge process ended with a Save As display, the original document and
the resuilt of the merge. What I want to achieve is the display of the
merge result alone. By adding SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges I have
got rid of the Save As display, but now only the original document
appears, which allows preview of the result of the merge. I did not
include the VBA code in my original post, because I thought that would
break the rules. I append it below.
