<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear List:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>anyway, is this normal? Can it
stopped?</FONT></DIV>
