Broadly speaking you will be better off making a reference to the mail
merge main document when you open it, e.g.
Dim objMMMD As Word.Document
'
'
'
Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName, 'etc.
'
'
'
' then when you want to close the mail merge main document, instead of
having to
' work out which window it is in, you can do
objMMMD.Close SaveChanges:=False
'
' then
Set objMMMD = Nothing
Unless an error document has been created, when you merge to a new document,
the new document becomes the ActiveDocument, so you should be able to do
something like
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.Activate
at the end of your code. However, I cannot say I have actually tested that
with your code here.

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.
