I have made some changes -
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.strDocName.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges 'objApp.Documents.Open strDocName objApp.Visible = True objApp.Activate The result has been, with the example I chose to test, that the first of 3 merged letters was displayed. When I closed it I then found myself looking at the original document again, from which I could run the merge and see all 3 letters! The plot thickens! Murray Quote:

Word mailmerge - Visual Basic experts please help!
Actually, I did know what the code was doing, but did not understand why.
However, I suggest that you follow the advice given by Peter Jamieson and use 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 -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Murray Muspratt-Rouse" wrote in message ... 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 Murray Doug Robbins - Word MVP;359242 Wrote: If you remove the objApp.Visible = False and perhaps replace it with obj.App.Activate though that may not be necessary, I think that the result of the merge will be visible 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 -- Hope this helps.

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 Murray- 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 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.

Thank you Doug for referring me to Peter Jamieson's advice. I have immediately run in to a problem - it does not like 'objMMMD As Word.Document' telling me 'User-defined type not defined' and suggesting that it might be in a properly registered object or type library. Did I misunderstand Peter's advice? Was I meant to change objMMMD to something else?

That is probably because the Word Object library has not been referenced via
the Tools|References option in Access VBA. However, the original author may have avoided that deliberately because when you reference a library, the reference is to a specific version of Word. You can typically work around that using the following instead (you just don't see the autocomplete Help in the VBA editor that you would otherwise get) Dim objMMMD As Object -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Murray Muspratt-Rouse" wrote in message ...[color=blue][i] Thank you Doug for referring me to Peter Jamieson's advice.

I am very grateful to Peter for his advice - this morning I realised that I should have googled objMMMD. When I did that I found some of his postings on the web and started looking for Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library, Trying to reference it showed it to be missing, so I tried to find its name and location. What I saw was cut off at c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\M - and I could not make the pop up any wider!
I have tried Dim objMMMD As Object - the result was a compile error with a syntax error on Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName etc. I must locate the Object Library and regioster it, I think. Murray Quote:

My apologies- the syntax for the Open has to change to the "function" style
where the parameter list is surrounded by braces, e.g. Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open(FileName:=strDocName) -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Murray Muspratt-Rouse" wrote in message ...[color=blue][i] I am very grateful to Peter for his advice - this morning I realised that I should have googled objMMMD.

I think I have overcome the Tools/References problem, but now I have another one: - I get an compile error message telling me that End of Statement was expected, highlighting FileName in the statement to which I have added 'Set objMMMD ='
Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open FileName:=strDocName, ConfirmConversions:=False, _ ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False _ , PasswordDocument:="", _ PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", _ WritePasswordTemplate:="", XMLTransform:="" Murray Quote:

See Peter's previous message in which he says to use
Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, etc ) Probably all that you really need of that command is: Set objMMMD = objApp.Documents.Open (FileName: = strDocName, AddToRecentFiles:=False ) And that is on the assumption that you do not want the document to be added to the list of most recently used files. If that is not an issue, you can simply use Set objMMMD = obj.App.Documents.Open(strDocName) -- Hope this helps.
