opening 2 docs simultaneously
pre office 2003 the following commandlines following one another in a batch
file called by a DOS program opened two Word mailmerge docs at the same time. The second one would get the focus. C:\Progra~1\Micros~3\office11\winword.exe /mone C:\Progra~1\Micros~3\office11\winword.exe /mtwo since installing Word 2003 they now open in sequence ie I must close the first before the second will open. I need both open at the same time as before. I am opening both manually at present with a couple of shortcuts to the respective docs. How can I make it happen automatically again in 2003? |

Does putting "start " (without the quotes) at the beginning of the "/mone"
line make any difference?

No. Returns "Bad file or command"
But in trying your idea I hit on a solution: ....winword.exe /mone /mtwo seems you can put 2 macros in sequence in Word 2003 so both mergedocs open and the second gets the focus. That's what I needed. Thanks again for your help. "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ... Does putting "start " (without the quotes) at the beginning of the "/mone" line make any difference?
