[AccessD] Mail merge from Access questions SOLVED

I'm not sure why, but I was able to get it to work properly by setting up
the MM document so that it was not a true MM document.  That is, it had the
desired merge fields, but there was no source set up in the Word document.
Then I used the OpenDataSource function to set the data source.

Note that the data source has a single header line in it.

Subject: [AccessD] Mail merge from Access questions


Hi all,

I am creating a flat file from access to be used in mail merge initiated by
access.  I basically create the flat file then load a pre-configured mail
merge document and do the mail merge.

The problem that I cannot figure out is how to have the column names in the
flat file but not have them show up as the first record.  

Here's my relevant code:

   Set objWord = New Word.Application
   Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(strMergeDoc)
   objWord.Application.Visible = True
   
   With objDoc.MailMerge
      .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters
      '.OpenHeaderSource Name:=strDataFile, Format:=WDOpenFormatText,
ReadOnly:=True
      '.opendatasource Name:=strDataFile, Format:=WDOpenFormatText,
ReadOnly:=True
      .destination = wdSendToNewDocument
      .Execute
      End With

I tried using OpenHeaderSource to add a header file that has the column
names in it, but it seems to ignore it.

I added the following line to try to use the OpenHeaderSource function:

.OpenHeaderSource Name:=strDataFile, Format:=WDOpenFormatText,
ReadOnly:=True

Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?  I'm sure it is some
really easy, but U just can't see it.  I did look through the archives, but
did not see what I was doing wrong.

Thanks,
Bobby
