Want to Initate a Mail Merge

[rfurb002]

I would like to create button so that on click it would open Word and begin the wizard for a mail merge. Nothing super fancy just wondering if thats even possible. Thanks for your help!

Cant figure out how this works

Hello
can you explain to me how this work? I need to learn how to do this but I am new to code!! I seen lots of code but I dont understand how its done... or even better if you send me your DB where this mail merge is with the word document i can play with it and figure it out..

thanks

before you go down this route - check in samples super easy word
this does a word merge function that is easy on the brain as some clever spark has done all of the hard work on it
