I have a form built to run a query then merge
with word.

In this case, what code does the form use to start Word and open the
document?

With recent updates to Word 2000, you will probably need to read and apply

"Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You Open a
Word Document"

at

http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=825765

even though the article's name does not obviously describe your problem.

hello,

I'm using access & word 2000. I have a form built to run a query then
merge
with word. The query runs as expected, the data is shown in a table, the
word file with the correct fields is open. However, there is no data in
the
word file. The mailmerge toolbar is all grayed out. This works once in a
while, but most often doesn't.

If I do this in reverse order, open word and then mailmerge (dde) the
query,
it works.

Help!

Thanks
