Dear List:

I do a mail merge from an A2K app to Word.  The user selects the document to merge to.  They set the doc up before hand using as a data source a table in the app front end.  I put the customer name and address info in this table and it merges quite nicely into the word doc.

But the merging opens up Access and the front end a second time.  Doesn't really bother the user too much but they'd like to get rid of it if possible.  User insists it didn't used to do that and now it does.  I can't remember.  They're running Win2K and A2K.

I speculated that it opened up the second instance because of the link to the front end table as the data source for the merge.

anyway, is this normal?  Can it stopped?

MTIA,
