[AccessD] Automation of word

Susan,

That is a good question.  When they come back to my application they get a
form presenting them with the option of canceling the merge. If they choose
that option then I can delete the file back out of the directory.

What if they mess up and really need to start over?

I've been trying to follow this thread and this is the first time I've
understood the problem -- thanks. :)

Sorry I don't have a solution for you -- I'll bet Bryan knows the answer. 
He's a Word genius. :)
