Mail Merger Error 5852 in Word 2003

[Virgil Layne]

We're getting a 5852 error mailmerging into a Word 2003
document. The merge is created in Access 2003 using this
code:
Dim appWord as Word.Application

Set appWord = New Word.Application
appWord.Documents.Open gstrTemplatesPath & strFileName
appWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Destination =
wdSendToNewDocument
appWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute

The error happens on the line that
ends "wdSendToNewDocument".

Option Explicit is declared in the module. Plus, this
code was working fine in Access and Word versions 97, 2000
and XP.

Hi Virgil,

It sounds like the mail merge document has been changed to a Normal
Word document instead of a mail merge document.

Open the document and turn on the Mail Merge toolbar. Click "Main
document setup" (first button) and check the document type. You may
also need to specify the data source again as well.
