yes, in Access. Access opens the word document, merges the data and waits for the user to edit the data.. The user edits the document to their hearts content, then closes the document. Access continues processing, saving the document out to a network drive and logging the successful merge to a table. In order to do this, I need to know the user successfully merged the document and was happy with the results. John W.

The users that order the documents will do the mail merge (on their local machine), with the document opened and visible to them after the merge. The user can then edit the document (add sentences / paragraphs etc), scan that the merged data is correct etc. If they are happy then I need to save the merged document out to a common location on the network with the doc name modified to include the initials of the person ordering the document, the date, the claim number that the doc is about etc. If the user is not happy, I need to just delete the document(s) on the local drive. My question is, how do I stop processing as I open the document so that I can then ask the user if it all worked satisfactorily after they close the document. Is it possible to "open the document MODAL (so to speak) where they are in Word, can edit and do whatever, but they have to close Word to get back to Access? How do you guys handle this stuff.
