Mail Merge impediments...
I have an Access program (MIDAS) that creates a mail merge database table
(tblMailMerge). There is a control on an Access form that Shells out to a Word document that reads the data base tabke and creates a letter(s) with the merged data. In Word v06 this works smoothly with the Word document(s) appearing immediately after being called from the Access program. In Word 2003 however, there are two message boxes that must be "clicked" before the Word merge document finally appears. The first is" Opening the document will run the following command: Select * from tblMailMerge Data from the database will be placed in the document. Do you want to continue? Well of course I want to continue! The second is: Select Data Source +New Data Source .odc +New SQL Data Source .odc MidasDb2 tblMailMerge.odc Of course the third option is the one to select. Why do I get this when it is already a part of the merge definition in the Word document? Is there any way I can avoid these interferences or must I revert to Word v06 to get smooth operation? Thanks... -Wayne *The etimology of programming: "There is always one more bug." |
