VBS/ASP mail merge/recordset

K

Kevin PArker

I'm not familiar with VB. Is there any way to open a datasource, but
use a recordset instead? I am trying to develop a Cold Fusion
application to merge my data from an oracle database to a word
document. The reason we want to use Cold Fusion because the original
application that gathers the data is Cold Fusion. The word.application
object is open to cold fusion, but that's it. Has anyone ever done
this before?

You can't use a disconnected recordset as a data source. The data has to be
in a file (or DBMS table/view/query) first. Further, the file can't be at a
URL, e.g. you can't use ftp://xyz/mydata.txt as a data source.
