Hi Paul,
We use OfficeXP (so I think that's Word 2002?)
Excellent, this makes your job much easier. Word 2002
introduced mail merge EVENTS: MailMergeBeforeMerge,
MailMergeAfterMerge, MailMergeBeforeRecordMerge and
MailMergeAfterRecordMerge. I think this last would be most
appropriate for what you want.
If you search my name on the msdn site you should turn up a
few articles. One of them deals with new VBA functionality
in Word 2002, and should have some sample code for these
events. Plus, I think you'll find articles in the Knowledge
Base.
The situation is that I am setting up the mailmerge using
a template. The user sets up some parameters in a dialog
box first. They can then edit the document before
performing the merge. What I need to be able to do is to
update the database to indicate that the mailmerge has
been completed for these particular records.
Ideally, I would like to know which records were merged
(in case the user has filtered them down) but I can
accept that that could get very complicated!
