automating generation of a word document

[vivian]

Is there a way I can create a macro (or other mechanism)
that could be on a switchboard or other form which would
open a specific word merge document?
TIA

Vivian,
You should be able to do this in a macro using the RunApp action.

Set your action argument to:

"c:\program files\microsoft office\office\winword.exe" "drive:\folder\folder\folder\whatever\filename.doc"

And watch out for the wordwrap on your newsreader.

And set a command button on your switchboard (or other) form with the OnClick property to be the macro's name.

Hope that helps!
