Alternative to mailmerge
Is there an alternative to mailmerge, such as templates for building up
pages manually for L7163 address labels (7 rows of 2 labels) I ask this because I am migrating from Office 2000 to 2003 and am getting the message running an SQL statement. I know there's a Microsoft KB document for this kb825765) which tells you to add a registry key to allow the SQL to run uninterrupted, but this seems to defeat the whole object of me trying to use digital certificates etc and what about any new document that may arrive on my computer (e.g. family members downloading etc). I want to have more control of what I let Microsoft does to my PC Incidentally, I am not running SQL, but my mail merge data is a flat file of data records, but I guess that doesn't matter. The mailmerge main document has the datasource etc all embedded into it, so it runs every time I open the document, even if I disable the macros. In the old days I did used to specify the filename of the data source at runtime, but I guess that wouldn't make any difference now I use the following code in my mailmerge main document which worked nicely in 2000 and since I call this several times from an excel spreadsheet, having the SQL message pop up twice for each document is going to annoy me Private Sub Document_Open() MailMerge.Execute 'Set properties of created mail merge, so the 'do you want to ' save' message doesn't appear ActiveDocument.Saved = True 'Close the mail merge main document ThisDocument.Close True End Sub -- Mike News |
