Hullo,
got a strange one here.
I have a database written in Access 2. I have numerous mail merges that need to be done, so i have setup a small form which takes a query name, and then allows you to put in the path, and it exports it as a *.doc file.
Recently i had to add some new ones, so i just copied and pasted the queries, created new buttons for them, and assumed they woudl work
the export its self works fine, if you view it in a text viewer (textpad or similar) the export looks fine, BUT when you try to open the file in word 2000, i get a screen pop up asking what type of encoding i wish to use, with an option of "unicode-utf(8)" highlighted.
If anyone has any ideas, wants more info, or knows an answer, please either reply here, or send me an email to Paul@accessunlimited.co.uk
many thanks in advance
