Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWFya0I=?=,
I have an Access DB with embedded Word documents. I am searching for a way
to do a mailmerge using the DB as the data source and have it render the
embedded Word documents via the mergefield.... Is this possible? If so, how?If it's possible at all, then only using VBA Automation. Probably, you could
automate opening the embedded Word object, linking to a data source, and
performing the merge. you'd need to ask in an Access group for the first step,
certainly. And you'd want to test (manually) whether such an embedded Word doc
can access the same database in which it is stored as a data source. I'm
guessing DDE might be a problem, but ODBC might work.
If you need more help with the merge end, we'd need to know which version of
Word we're dealing with.
