Mail Merges

[Dave Cousineau]

ok this is a topic that doesn't really fit anywhere, it applies to to OLE, Access, Word, and VBA.

i have been able to setup a program in Access 97 that can do auto mail-merges with Word97, (so the user just selects a record, and a document, and the computer handles the rest)

the main problem i have is that it always opens a new copy of the Access database to link the document with, instead of using the copy that is already open. its not a serious problem, it's just annoying.
