Word-Word Mailmerge
I am using Word table as data source for mail merge.
To open the "Mail Merge Recipient" window, I am using the Dialogs option Dialogs(wdDialogMailMergeRecipients).Show On clicking Edit button in "Mail Merge Recipient" window, the original data source (Word document) opens. But I am not able to edit/get focus/close this doc until the "Mail merge Recipient" window is closed. Futhermore, if I use any other button (like Find) in Mail Merge Recipients, the application crashes. Any help regarding this is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance |

Word-Word Mailmerge
I am using Word table as data source for mail merge.

Futhermore, if I use any other button (like Find) in Mail Merge Recipients, the application crashes. Any help regarding this is highly appreciated. Well, the explanation for the first is straight-forward enough: the Recipients dialog box is modal. The problem you're running into is that the tools you're trying to use were intended to only work with the Word 2002/2003 default data source: an Access databank generated by using these tools. If you try to use them with anything else, they will not work correctly. If you want to "manage" the data of the older Word interface, you need to use the older interface tools. They're still available, but hidden. In the Word 2002/2003 section of my website's mail merge FAQ you'll find a table of the old functionality, and how to get it back. You're looking for the Word command MailMergeDataForm Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
