If a mail merge fails, it can leave an instance of word open and the doc that word instance was using locked, i,e, it can't be deleted because the doc is in use. Obviously I can go in to the task manager, select the word process (image name?) and "End Process". Is there any way to do that programatically? Is there any way to "name" the word instance that my program is opening so that I can go check to see if that instance is open? Am I making this too complicated? I'm not by any stretch a word mail merge guru and this seems very unwieldy. John W. Colby The database guy
