Hi all,

I'm using word automation with Ms Office 2003.
I used to have working sources for Ms Office 2000, but as of always, things
evolve...
I recreated my classes in visual c++ 6 based on the MSWORD.OLB file.
Opening word is working again perfectly, opening the datasource as well.
But when I set the destination for the mailmerge object to wdSendToPrinter
as it always was and then perform an execute method, I get an exception
that says 'word could not finish merging these documents or inserting this
database' and nothing gets sent to the printer. However, If I set the
destination to wdSendToNewDocument and execute, the new document is
created. Anybody any idea how I could make it work with sendtoprinter, or
what could be the cause of this error.

Thanks in advance,

J Roeland
