Compared to Word 97 and 2000, Mail Merge in word 2002 and
2003 take MUCH LONGER. Is there a way to get this to
take less time? Merging a single document could take as
long as 30-60 seconds (one page document). The same
document with the same data source on 97 or 2000 takes
less than 5 seconds.
The problem occurs on this statement:
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute
We use ODBCs to connect to our database, using the dBase
Driver DSN. The data source is populated by our
client/server app to a local .dbf file.
Suggestions? Why would Word version drastically change
the merge speed?
