[AccessD] Mail Merge

Rocky, Help says the Destination property (wdSendToNewDocument) applies to a 
Mail Merge object and objWord is a Word object -- not sure that's your 
problem. From HELP

Example
This example sends the results of a mail merge operation to a new document.

Dim mmTemp As MailMerge

Set mmTemp = ActiveDocument.MailMerge

If mmTemp.State = wdMainAndDataSource Then
    mmTemp.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
    mmTemp.Execute
End If
