Mail Merge From WebPage? Possible?

C

Chris

If I create a simple HTML document, I can use it in a mail merge with
Word. The HTML is just a table such as
LastName FirstName Address
Smith John 123 test street
Barnes Walter 312 asdf rd.
etc...

This works just fine.


However, when I put this html on a website (www.mysite.com/test.html),
and try to have word do a mail merge with it, it fails:
"The document name or path is not valid. Try one of the following:
Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. On the file menu,
click open. Search for the file using this dialog box."

BTW, it also has a momentary pause before this dialog while it says
"Contacting webserver" or something like that.

If I use the dialog box like it asks, I can open my html file just
fine!

What I want is to have my server print out the html on demand (using
asp.net) whenever a mail merge is required by someone, however, I DONT
want to have to download and save the document every time. I would
rather just have the mail merge pointing to the server and save 1
step.

Is this possible?
