[AccessD] Mail Merge

Rocky,

Below is a link discussing late binding and word automation.  It appears to give a workaround for this type of issue about 1/4 down the page: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread189594.html

***************SNIP******************
wdSendToNewDocument is a named constant or something like that. What
if you cheat and do something like

?wdSendToNewDocument

in the immediate window, get the number/value associated with this
variable and use that number instead? Does it work?"
***************SNIP******************

Good Luck,

Mark A. Matte
