using VB from Access worked with Word/Access2000, not 2002
I've written some VB code behind an Access form button that performs a
mailmerge. It works great for Word/Access 2000. Here is a fragment: Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") With oApp ' US Doc .Visible = True .Documents.Open FileName:=Path & "Merge.doc" .ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument For 2002 I get a msg "Requested object is not available" on the last line. I made changes to the code: Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") oApp.Visible = True oApp.Documents.Open FileName:=Path & "Merge.doc" Set oDoc = oApp.ActiveDocument oDoc.Mailmerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument and still get the error "Requested object is not available" on the last line. I have used the VB debugger with watch points and 'oDoc' is the document I expect it to be with mailmerge properties. Ideas? Thanks, Don |

I would suggest that you dim mergedoc as Document, then use
Set mergedoc = Documents.Open(Filename:= Path & "Merge.doc") mergedoc.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument to make sure that the document you are trying to use is actually the mailmerge main document. Chances are that your problem is caused because the ActiveDocument is not what you think it is -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the response. I'd tried that previously (and again upon your suggestion) and got the error: "User-defined data type not defined" on the Dim statement. I have also tried some code with set oDoc = CreateObject("Word.Document") and tried working with oDoc to no avail.

Hi Doug,
I've tried a half dozen times or more over the last 3 days to access this URL - cannot find server. Can you summarize?

Hi Don,
I am not sure what the problem is with the website, but if you send me your email address, I can send you a copy of the zip file that you would have downloaded from the site. You will have to de-spam the address. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
