    Initializing a Mail Merge from within Access 97

    I need some help with this final piece of my project....

    I need to run a mail merge on a document from with an Access 97 form. The document is all ready created, and it is set to pull records from a database.

    Take note that the database that has the records for the mail merge is the same database that has the command button to access Word!!!

    I don't know if that makes a difference... I started writing an automation piece, but I can not seem to locate the mail merge part of the Word application....

    Can someone please help me out with this?????

    I will be extremely grateful!!

    declare an instance of Word and open the document.... then to access the mailmerge feature use:

    Code:
    wordObject.activeDocument.MailMerge.[property/method]
    Look at the object browser for a list of properties and methods. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
    See ya later,
