I'm sorry Rocky. It's something like that. I've had the problem but I can't
for the life of me think when and why. Another possibility is something to
do with when and whether you're running full Access or Runtime. Sorry this
is so woolly - the alcohol's definitely killing off the memory
cells.<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy

up to the clients' desktop<BR>where they run it. The mail merge table which
is the data source for the<BR>document is in the client FE. Now, I'm
thinking that the data source in the<BR>document is pointing to the FE on
their desktop. At least that's where it<BR>was when I showed them how to
make a data source for their docs. However,<BR>perhaps they have recreated
the data source and are pointing to the FE on<BR>the server. Which would be
bad if two of them tried to do a merge at the<BR>same time. I'll have to
check that out. Would that cause the second<BR>instance of Access to
start?<BR><BR>Thanks and regards,<BR><BR>Rocky<BR><BR>----- Original Message

Subject: [AccessD] Mail Merge Start Second Copy of
Access<BR>><BR>><BR>> Dear List:<BR>><BR>> I do a mail merge
from an A2K app to Word. The user selects the<BR>> document to merge to.
They set the doc up before hand using as a data<BR>> source a table in
the app front end. I put the customer name and<BR>> address info in this
table and it merges quite nicely into the word doc.<BR>><BR>> But the
merging opens up Access and the front end a second time.<BR>> Doesn't
really bother the user too much but they'd like to get rid of it<BR>> if
possible. User insists it didn't used to do that and now it does. I<BR>>
can't remember. They're running Win2K and A2K.<BR>><BR>> I speculated
that it opened up the second instance because of the link<BR>> to the
front end table as the data source for the merge.<BR>><BR>> anyway, is
this normal? Can it stopped?<BR>><BR>> MTIA,<BR>><BR>> Rocky
