hi,

I'm looking to automate word to allow users to send letters to customers. i am using access 2k and work 2k.

I have automated excel and outlook functions with VBA before however i have never done anything with word.

Is it worth while using word for the task, i have seen word automated previously and it always seemed to fail and the code looked gastly. i do have to say the guy the coded it was not know for best practice.


I have a mege document and only need to use 5 items from a dataset.

is there an easy way to run the mailmerge using VBA ? does anyone have any good tut's on the subject ?

thanks in advance

David
