Controlling Word - Update Fields

[willpower]

Hi all,

I'm trying to control Word Mailmerge docs through my Access VBA
Through a convoluted process which I'll avoid for now, I end up with a new (already merged) document in word. My Word object is named objWord and the merged document is objWord.ActiveDocument. From this, I use the following:

With objWord
.ActiveDocument.PrintOut False, False, wdPrintAllDocument, , , , , 1, , , False, True
.ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
End With

To print, then close the doc. My problem is that I now need to "Select All", then "UpdateFields" before printing the doc. Does anyone now which method I can use?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Solution

Aaarggh! Solved it...

objWord.ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

...for anyone who's interested.

Calls the Update method on the Fields collection!
