I wrote a script in cold fusion that attaches a word document as an OLE object in an access database.

Seemed like a great idea at the time (warning of things to come)

Now I need to do a word merge of all the documents that have been attached to my database. I can't simply merge because it is an OLE field type.

Can anyone tell me how to merge word documents contained in an OLE field into a regular word merge?

The reason I used OLE instead of MEMO is this: The web site was used for a scientific abstract submission process at a cancer research center. The students use many special characters and greek letters which I have found are lost when attempting to send data over a CF form using HTML.


Help help help. Thank you in advance (the cure for cancer can literally be found with your help) 8>

any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Ihave been looking for the same solution, so I thought I would post the answer to this question for the benefit of those trying to accomplish the same task.

(I know the thread is old, but the problem remains the same.)
