Try, some of the following e.g.
oWrd.Visible = True
oWrd.Activate
oWrd.ActiveDocument.Activate
With oWrd.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.SuppressBlankLines = True
With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
.LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
End With
.Execute Pause:=True
oWrd.Activate

Give me an example of what you are talking about. I am automating Word
from
VB6. I am executing the mailmerge this way:
1464 With oWrd.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
1466 .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
1468 .SuppressBlankLines = True
1470 With .DataSource
1472 .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
1474 .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
1476 End With
1478 .Execute Pause:=True
With the Pause parameter set to True, Word comes to the foreground with
the
focus on the Fill-in. On some computers it does not.

I'm automating a mail merge and the document has several fill-in
fields.
Some users report that the fill-in box is behind other windows and
cannot
be
seen. Not all users have this problem.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? The version of Word is XP SP2
on
Windows XP.
