I have an automated mail merge setup to require no user interaction. I have
a file with all the merge information including the number of copies.
Everything waorks fina as long as I use the default printer and only need one
copy.

The problem is I need to select the printer and the number of copies without
any user interaction prior to printing. How do I send that information to
the printer using VB and the wdSendToPrinter command?

Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that you will need to execute the merge to a document to be able
to print more than one copy of it.

See the article "How to do a mail merge to the printer using VBA, without
displaying the Print dialog" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMe...PrintrWVBA.htm

For selecting the printer, see the article "Changing the selected (current)
printer in Word without changing the system default printer" at:
