Hi,
Is it possible to save the Active Document as a Mail Merge Form Letter and
then assign a datasource to it? I want to do this in VB Code. I've tried
using the ActiveDocument.SaveAs with the FileFormat property set to
wdFormLetters, but when I try to use the ActiveDocument.MailMerge object I
get an error.

Thanks,
Steve

You can use ActiveDocument.Mailmerge.OpenDataSource to connect to a new
datasource (the details can be complicated but for many data source types
you just need the file name). But you also need to take account of
